About The Position

At Ellie Mental Health in Meridian, we’re building a space where therapists feel supported, valued, and free to do what they love—help people grow. Ellie isn’t your typical mental health clinic. We’re a group of passionate, down-to-earth humans who believe in authenticity, creativity, humor, compassion, acceptance, and determination , not just as buzzwords, but as daily practice. Our mission is to end the stigma around mental health, fill the gaps in accessible care throughout the Treasure Valley, and bring fresh, creative energy to how therapy is done. We’ve designed our clinic to remove the administrative headaches that often hold therapists back, so you can focus on what you do best: providing exceptional care. “We are people first, and therapists second.” We know that when therapists are supported, rested, and empowered, clients receive better care. That’s why we prioritize a healthy work-life balance and keep administrative demands minimal. Show up as your authentic self, because that’s the version your clients (and your team) need most. At Ellie Meridian, we want you to love where you work. Seeking creative & collaborative humans with a passion for changing mental health care in fun and meaningful ways. Ellie Mental Health is devoted to purposefully building an inclusive and diverse workplace where all of our humans can be their authentic selves! 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! 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! 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.
