LCSW Clinical Supervisor - Leadership Track

About the role

Ellie Mental Health is a locally owned, rapidly expanding practice dedicated to increasing access to high-quality mental health care. We're seeking a Virginia-licensed LCSW Clinical Supervisor ready to step into leadership — building a team, shaping a clinic, and growing into a larger leadership role as we continue to expand. This position offers a genuine leadership track with room to grow your scope and influence. You'll carry a manageable caseload, provide weekly clinical supervision to pre-licensed therapists (building to a full team of up to 6 supervisees), oversee clinic quality of care, documentation, and productivity, help shape hiring, training, and team development, and partner directly with ownership on clinic growth and community outreach.

Our culture is built on authenticity, compassion, humor, and creativity — we take the work seriously, not ourselves. We're devoted to purposefully building an inclusive and diverse workplace where all humans can be their authentic selves. If you're excited about the chance to be a change-maker but your experience doesn't perfectly align with every qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway.

Responsibilities

• Carry a manageable caseload of 20–22 clients per week
• Provide weekly clinical supervision and mentorship to pre-licensed therapists (MSW/LMSW), building to a full team of up to 6 supervisees over your first several months
• Oversee clinic quality of care, documentation, and productivity
• Help shape hiring, training, and team development
• Partner directly with ownership on clinic growth and community outreach

Requirements

• Active Virginia LCSW license and VA Board-Approved Supervisor status
• 1–2+ years of clinical supervision experience (private practice preferred)
• Master's degree or higher in social work or a related behavioral science field
• Strong working knowledge of Virginia mental health regulations
• A natural mentor who loves pouring into supervisees and helping early-career clinicians find their footing
• Comfort working in a role where strong performance is rewarded

Pay

Clinical base plus commission on every session, with exact rate depending on insurances. Total annual compensation of $92,000–$114,000 once you combine clinical pay, supervision stipend, and benefits. Supervisor stipend of up to $2,400/month — your pay grows as your team grows toward six supervisees. Guaranteed pay during your 4-week onboarding while you build your caseload. Hourly rate range: $61.00–$84.00 per hour.

Benefits

• Company health plan (eligible after 60 days; opt out and your commission rate increases)
• Malpractice insurance fully covered
• 80 hours of PTO/sick leave, plus 7 paid federal holidays
• Free CEU library to keep your license and skills sharp
• Wellness benefits, on-site gym, free parking, and quarterly team activities
• 401(k) with matching
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• Signing bonus

Schedule

Flexible hybrid schedule with some evening availability required.
