Form of workDo you want to be a driving force to help destigmatize Mental Health? Are you looking for a private practice with an established team that is driven by its core values? Then come join our multi-location clinic for Ellie Mental Health in the Chicago Western Suburbs.
Our Downers Grove clinic was the first locally owned and operated practice to open for Ellie nationally and is now expanding to our second location in Oak Brook. We currently serve more than 350 clients in the local community with a diverse team of therapists.
We are looking for therapists who are aligned with our values of Creativity, Humor, Acceptance, Determination, Compassion & Authenticity We offer incredible work-life balance, flexibility to set your schedule, a warm and inviting office, and more of the good stuff while removing the "busy" stuff from a traditional private practice setting.
New patient phone calls will be routed, answered, matched, and scheduled by our dedicated client care team...including all new patient intake forms. Another dedicated team manages billing and collections to ensure all insurance claims get processed and paid promptly.
Ellie was proudly founded on the principle of destigmatizing Mental Health. The Mental Health industry is full of barriers, and we've made it our goal to fill the gap and find innovative ways to break down these barriers for the communities we serve.

Seeking creative & collaborative humans with a passion for changing Mental Health care in fun and meaningful ways
Don't meet EVERY requirement?
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. Ellie Mental Health is devoted to purposefully building an inclusive and diverse workplace where all of our humans can be their authentic selves! (Authenticity is one of our core values, after all...) If you're excited about the chance to be a change-maker with us, but your past experience doesn't perfectly align with every single qualification of the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. Our Mental Health jobs need dedicated individuals from every background who are willing to care for others. And who knows, you might just be the perfect candidate for another role!
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!
Y'all, jobs in Mental Health are tough jobs with a high risk of emotional fatigue and burnout. At Ellie, we use all of our core values of humor, creativity, authenticity, acceptance, determination, and compassion not just out in our communities, but we turn them inwards too! Our employees have clear growth paths for advancing their careers.
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."
Feeling blah doesn't help employees stay motivated, engaged, or even in their jobs for a very long time! So 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.
In short, we're just people helping people. Wanna join the herd?
