Licensed Associate Counselor

Ellie Mental Health•Old Bridge, NJ

2d•Hybrid

About The Position

Join our growing team as we expand our Old Bridge location! This is a hybrid role, requiring at least 3 days in person (you can pick the location most convenient to you). We provide a flexible work schedule, but we expect our therapists to proactively balance client needs while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Given the high demand for sessions between 3 PM – 8 PM on weekdays, success in this role requires availability during these peak hours at least 3 days a week. Our therapists are highly compensated (base hourly pay, commission splits, performance bonuses and more). They also have the flexibility to manage their own caseload at a comfortable level, focus their efforts on specialties and work in a warm, inviting office. Ellie is a socially responsible for-profit business, which allows us to be flexible and responsive to our community’s needs. 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.
