Fully Licensed Outpatient Mental Health Youth Therapist (Part Time)

PLEASE NOTE : At this time, we are only hiring for FULLY LICENSED LPCs, LCSWs, and LMFTs. Please do not apply unless you will have full / unrestricted clinical licensure in Colorado by Summer 2024.

This opening is at our part-time Pay Level 3, defined as a licensed clinician with less than 3 years of post-licensure clinical experience.

Ellie Mental Health is looking for early career licensed therapists (LPC, LCSW, and LMFT) who are seeking a different employment experience to ignite their creativity while minimizing the barriers that come with traditional therapy practices.

This opening is for a therapist who works with children and adolescents.

This role is at our part-time Pay Level 3, defined as a licensed clinician with less than 3 years of post-licensure clinical experience.

We are a veteran owned and led clinic in Greenwood Village that is structured to remove many of the daily obstacles of a provider.

Think about this opportunity like being in charge of your own private practice, but with lots of support and a great team! By offering centralized support for inquiries, intake scheduling, client / therapist matching, insurance credentialing and claims (we are in network with most major insurances, multiple Medicaid RAEs, Medicare, and Tricare), our providers get to focus most of their time on what they love most providing world-class mental health services.

We believe providing a fantastic experience for our providers is a critical link to better care and better outcomes in mental health.

We prioritize our therapists as much as our clients. We offer flexible scheduling, competitive compensation, and excellent benefits.

Benefits for part time therapists include paid sick time, an available 401K, free Ellie University CEUs, and license reimbursement.

You will also get to work in a beautiful, comfortable and spacious office!

Who Are We Looking For?

The perfect candidate is driven, accountable, and a problem solver that shares our passion for improving and expanding access to quality outpatient mental health care in Colorado.

They will also thrive in a culture that emphasizes our values of creativity, authenticity, humor, compassion, acceptance, and determination.

Opportunities are available for in-person individual, couples, family, and group therapy services. This role leverages in-person and telehealth care, meeting our clients where they're at.

This allows for a hybrid clinician schedule to collaborate with the team in the clinic and work from home! Our therapists relish working with autonomy and flexibility, while being part of a supportive team.

We have been asking our community partners for their hopes in the types of therapy we’ll provide, including EMDR and other evidence-based treatments for PTSD, parent-child interaction therapy and other therapies for children and adolescents, Exposure and Response Prevention, therapies specific to eating disorders and body image concerns, group therapy, substance counseling integrated with therapy, therapy to support neurodiverse folx, and grief therapy.

We want our DTC clinic to reflect the diversity that exists in our community! Bilingual, Black, Indigenous, Person of Color, Veteran, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and +Plus candidates are encouraged to apply.

We also value diversity of age, ability, national origin, and religion / spirituality in our therapists.
