About The Position

As a Specialized Child & Adolescent Therapist at Ellie Mental Health, you’ll share our vision for improving access to quality mental health care while working in a culture grounded in authenticity, humor, compassion, creativity, acceptance, and determination. Ellie was founded on the principle of destigmatizing mental health and breaking down barriers that often prevent people from receiving care. Ellie Mental Health of North Idaho is a group of like-minded providers committed to exceptional client care. We are part of a multi-clinic organization based in Minnesota, with independently owned locations all over the United States, that are structured to remove many daily obstacles that interfere with providing great therapy. The clinician experience is our priority. We support therapists with competitive compensation, benefits, training, free CEUs, therapist-controlled scheduling, and robust administrative support. Our centralized team handles referrals, scheduling, billing, insurance credentialing, technology, and client matching so clinicians can focus on therapy. Happy therapists provide better care—and that’s our goal. Therapists that LOVE working with clients under 18 The perfect candidate will want roughly 75% or more of their caseload to focus on working with individuals under 18 years old. They will share our passion for improving and expanding access to quality mental health care in our local community and will thrive in a culture that emphasizes autonomy, flexibility, creativity, authenticity, humor, compassion, acceptance and determination (our core values). 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 the herd?
