Ellie Mental Health – Glendale is excited to offer this opportunity to join the growing movement that offers quality mental healthcare to our local community while keeping the clinician’s experience a priority.

You will work collaboratively with clients to assess their mental health needs, develop and implement treatment plans, and provide ongoing support and therapy.

Clinicians founded Ellie on the principle of destigmatizing mental health. The mental health industry is full of barriers, and Ellie has made it their goal to fill the gap and find innovative ways to break down these barriers for our local communities. Just one of the ways we are doing that is by making the clinician’s experience a priority – we offer great compensation, benefits, training, flexible scheduling, CEU’s, and an inclusive and diverse environment.

Additionally, Ellie provides centralized administrative support, technology, referral support, scheduling, client/therapist matching, and more.
