About the Role

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

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.
• 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!
• 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.”
• 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.
