About The Position

Ellie Mental Health is hiring an outpatient mental health therapist for its Woodbridge, Virginia location! Come be a part of a growing team that is working to break down barriers to mental health care in our community. Our mission is to make getting mental health care the norm. And to do that, we need to hire great clinicians, driven by our core values of authenticity, humor, compassion, creativity, acceptance, and determination. As an Outpatient Therapist at Ellie Mental Health, you'll share our vision for improving and expanding access to quality mental health care. 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 clinics 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. Ellie Mental Health of Woodbridge is a locally owned and operated clinic, and part of the Ellie Mental Health network. We are passionate about our community. Woodbridge and Prince William County is diverse and growing, and people in our community need access to quality counseling and mental health services. We want to fill that gap in our community. We are passionate about helping people. We aim to walk along this journey with our clients and provide a a safe place to talk, decompress, and heal. 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! We are looking for people passionate about making changes in the mental health community. We take a creative and collaborative approach to creating change while putting our team first. 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! 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 OUR herd?
