We recognize that talented individuals may hesitate to apply for a position if they do not meet every listed qualification, particularly women and people of color, based on research showing these groups are less likely to apply unless they satisfy all requirements. We encourage all interested candidates to apply, even if they do not meet every qualification. We value diverse experiences, transferable skills, and potential, and are committed to considering the whole person, not just a checklist of credentials.

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!

Company Structure

We are 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.”

In short, we’re just people helping people. Wanna join the herd?
