About The Position

Are you a natural leader who dreams of running your own outpatient mental health practice—without the stress (or financial headache) of launching one from scratch on your own? Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit, energy, and a strong desire to shape a new clinic, filling it with therapists that share your values of integrity, ethics, authenticity, and a desire to make a positive difference in our community? Then this is your chance to step into the top role at our new Ellie Mental Health clinic in Oregon City as Clinic Director. At Ellie, we’re not your typical outpatient mental health practice. We’re part of a national movement to smash stigma, fill gaps in care, and make therapy more human, accessible, and—dare we say—fun. Why You’ll Love Leading at Ellie Competitive pay + performance bonuses that actually reward your leadership. Flexible schedule (because balance matters for leaders, too). PTO, holidays, and even your birthday off—because you deserve to celebrate you. Full benefits available within first 30 days: health, dental, vision, 401(k), life & disability and more CEU time + license renewal reimbursement (we invest in your growth). Gorgeous, furnished office space + telehealth options. A supportive, values-driven team that believes in authenticity, humor, creativity, and compassion—not burnout. Mental health work is tough. Burnout is real. That’s why we’ve built a model that puts people first—our clients AND our employees. We believe happy clinicians = better care = healthier communities. We’re a socially responsible for-profit (yep, you read that right). That means we can stay creative, nimble, and innovative while still prioritizing purpose over profit. Unlike traditional nonprofit models, we pay better, innovate faster, and create a culture where people actually want to come to work. At Ellie, we live our values: humor, authenticity, compassion, acceptance, determination, and creativity. If those words light you up, you’ll feel right at home.
