2. Marketing and Design Support

Our marketing and design services enhance your virtual and in-person practice:

  • Social Media Profile Management
    : We create and manage your Facebook and Instagram profiles, optimizing bios with specialty-specific keywords (e.g., "teletherapy," "mental health support") and curating consistent, branded content. We handle non-clinical inquiries, escalating clinical questions to you.

Clinic Description

As an Outpatient Therapist at Ellie Mental Health, you'll share our vision for improving and expanding access to quality mental health care and thrive in an environment driven by our core values of authenticity, humor, compassion, creativity, acceptance, and determination.

Ellie Mental Health was founded in 2015 by Erin Pash, LMFT and Kyle Keller, LICSW when they opened the first Ellie clinic in Minneapolis. Since then, the Ellie Fam has continued to grow with multiple clinics in Minnesota and a growing number of locally owned and operated franchises across the country.

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.

We Offer:

  • Unique pay model with industry leading compensation
  • Comfortable, furnished offices and clinic environment
  • A company rooted in values of creativity, humor, compassion, acceptance, determination, and authenticity
  • Additional benefits and perks

Responsibilities Include:

  • Evaluate mental health diagnosis, create, and implement a treatment plan, complete ongoing documentation including further diagnosis, treatment plan reviews, and case notes according to company policy
  • Provide excellent customer service for clients and collaborate with a dynamic team to further the mission of filling gaps in our community
  • Utilize creativity in interventions to help clients achieve and exceed goals
  • Prepare and submit individual documentation for each session per company guidelines and protocol
  • For Full-Time status clinicians must maintain a caseload of a minimum of 25 client visits per week

  • Attend and participate in all clinical staff meetings and trainings
  • Other meaningful responsibilities as required.

  • Candidates are required to have a master’s degree in one of the behavioral sciences or related fields from an accredited college or university and on track to obtain licensure in their designated field
  • Candidates should have clinical licensure (LMFT, LPCC, LICSW, LP etc.)
  • Required experience with completing DAs, treatment plans and clinical case notes
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to demonstrate and model stable, appropriate boundaries with clients
  • Ability to complete and submit documentation of services and other documents in a timely manner
  • Comfort and familiarity working with a diverse client base
  • Proficient in the use of Office 365 and Electronic Health Record systems (Valant experience a plus!)
  • Fully Licensed Clinicians will ideally be credentialed with insurance panels.

Independent franchisees are Equal Opportunity employers committed to diverse and inclusive workforces. Franchisees are independent business people and not employed by Ellie Family Services, PLLP, d/b/a “Ellie Mental Health”, Ellie MSO, LLC, or Ellie FAM LLC. Thus, each franchisee and each franchisee clinic is unique and the franchisee is alone responsible for all employment matters in their clinic, including the terms and conditions of employment for their employees, such as hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing and scheduling. Depending on the clinic location you select, the job for which you apply may be in a clinic owned and operated by an independent franchisee, and not with the corporate-owned clinics, which are based in Minnesota. This means the franchisee, not Ellie Family Services, PLLP, is responsible for all employment matters at the clinic. If you are hired for the job, the franchisee will be your employer, not Ellie Family Services, PLLP or any of its affiliated entities. For franchisee clinic locations, please contact the franchisee organization directly to the extent you need assistance in completing forms or otherwise participating in that franchisee’s application process.

Ellie Mental Health is committed to a policy of Equal Employment Opportunity and will not discriminate against an applicant or employee on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, citizenship status, age, disability, veteran or military status, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, genetic information, or any other legally-recognized protected basis under federal, state or local laws, regulations or ordinances. Applicants with disabilities may be entitled to reasonable accommodation under the terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act and certain state or local laws. A reasonable accommodation is a change or adjustment to a job or work environment that will ensure an equal employment opportunity without imposing an undue hardship on the operation of the business.

Overview:

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skill sets and life experiences.

  • Supervise staff and consultants engaged on the program, ensuring accountability and high-quality outputs.
  • Coordinate with CHAI's global mental health team to bring in technical expertise while tailoring tools and evidence for the South African context.
  • Translate technical work (e.g. supplier engagement, cost-effectiveness analysis) into actionable policies and sustainable improvements in access to care.
  • Contribute to donor reporting, communication, and relationship management.
  • Work with government and partners to secure long-term financing and embed approaches into national systems for lasting impact.
  • Execute any other responsibilities as requested by CHAI leadership, ensuring adaptability and responsiveness to evolving program needs.

Qualifications:

  • Master's degree in public health, health policy, economics, or a related field.
  • At least 8 years of progressively responsible experience in health systems, policy, or program leadership (experience in mental health, pharmaceutical access, or health economics is an advantage).
  • A minimum of 5+ years of management experience as a Program Manager.
  • Excellent communication skills and demonstrated success in working with or within government at senior levels to shape and implement health programs.
  • Strong analytical and quantitative skills, with proficiency in tools such as Excel and PowerPoint for modeling, costing, and presenting evidence.
  • Willingness to travel as required.

Advantages

  • Experience working directly with institutions such as NDoH, SAHPRA, or National Treasury.
