Job Description

Job Description

We are looking to add a clinician to our team who primarily focuses on child and adolescent populations.

About Us :

Ellie was proudly founded on the principal of destigmatizing mental health. The mental health industry is full of barriers, and weve made it our goal to fill the gap and find innovative ways to break down these barriers for the communities we serve.

The main way we do this? With humor! We believe that struggling with mental health issues is 100% normal. Some days are great, and some days make you wish you could dig yourself in a hole and hide from at all.

Everyone has those days (even your therapist).

We are seeking creative & collaborative humans with a passion for changing mental health care in fun and meaningful ways.
