What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mental Health Outpatient Therapist position at Ellie Mental Health?
Responsive recruiter
Benefits
Ellie Mental Health is on a mission to transform mental health care by breaking down barriers, reducing stigma, and creating better experiences for both clients and clinicians. We believe therapists do their best work when they have the time, flexibility, and support to actually focus on therapy—not endless administrative busywork.
Our Clarksville clinic is growing, and we're looking for passionate, authentic mental health professionals who want to help us expand access to quality care throughout Middle Tennessee.
Who We're Looking For
We're seeking Psychologists (PsyD, PhD) and Therapists (LPC, LCSW, LMFT) who bring their own personality to the work. Our ideal clinicians are compassionate, creative, collaborative, and comfortable being authentically themselves. A sense of humor doesn't hurt either!
At Ellie, clinicians have flexibility in scheduling and caseload management, opportunities to develop specialties, and a supportive team environment designed to help them thrive.
Preferred Qualifications
Independent Ellie Mental Health franchisees are Equal Opportunity Employers committed to diverse and inclusive workplaces. Franchise locations are independently owned and operated, and each franchisee is solely responsible for employment matters at its clinic, including hiring, termination, supervision, compensation, staffing, and scheduling. If hired by a franchise location, the franchisee—not Ellie Family Services, PLLP, Ellie MSO, LLC, Ellie FAM LLC, or affiliated entities—will be your employer.
Ellie Mental Health is committed to Equal Employment Opportunity and does not discriminate based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, citizenship, age, disability, veteran or military status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, or any other legally protected status. Reasonable accommodations are available to qualified applicants with disabilities in accordance with applicable laws.
Compensation: $55,000.00 - $75,000.00 per year
Seeking creative & collaborative humans with a passion for changing mental health care in fun and meaningful ways.
Don’t meet EVERY requirement?
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. Ellie Mental Health is devoted to purposefully building an inclusive and diverse workplace where all of our humans can be their authentic selves! (Authenticity is one of our core values, after all…) If you’re excited about the chance to be a change-maker with us, but your past experience doesn’t perfectly align with every single qualification of the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. Our mental health jobs need dedicated individuals from every background who are willing to care for others. And who knows, you might just be the perfect candidate for another role!
Employee Experience
We take care of our people. It’s that simple. From investing in their financial future, to providing wages that shatter the ceiling in our industry to reasonable caseload expectations we ensure that our people are happy. Happy employees do better work and provide better client care! No matter what it is that you do in your mental health career at Ellie, our clients depend on us cultivating an environment where our employees can thrive so that they can thrive too!
Y’all, jobs in mental health are tough jobs with a high risk of emotional fatigue and burnout. At Ellie, we use all of our core values of humor, creativity, authenticity, acceptance, determination, and compassion not just out in our communities, but we turn them inwards too! Our employees have clear growth paths for advancing their careers.
We have created a culture that reminds us that our employees are our leaders!
Company Structure
Ellie is a socially responsible for-profit business, which allows us to be flexible and responsive to our community’s needs. Many mental health and wellness-focused companies are non-profits or government agencies, which rely on the general public, grants, or large donors for funding. This model often results in little creativity and lower compensation for employees, promoting a work culture that just makes people feel “blah.”
Feeling blah doesn’t help employees stay motivated, engaged, or even in their jobs for a very long time! So we created a new model: one that puts flexibility, innovative decision-making, creativity, and our people first, while remaining a socially conscious and responsible for-profit business focused on changing how we treat mental health.
In short, we’re just people helping people. Wanna join the herd?
