Location
While our new clinic is located in Wexford, PA (just north of Pittsburgh), this is primarily a remote position (although the intern is welcome to come work at our clinic as often as they would like to). The position may require the intern to visit the office from time to time, especially when it comes to creating content that showcases the clinic or areas around the clinic.
Compensation
Unpaid.
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
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.”
