Licensed Outpatient Mental Health Therapist

Ellie Mental Health was proudly founded on the principle of destigmatizing therapy. We've made it our goal to break down barriers to treatment and fill the gaps often left by our patchy healthcare system. One of the ways we do this is by prioritizing the clinician's experience. Ellie Mental Health Livonia is locally-owned and clinician operated. Our clinic is structured to remove many of the daily obstacles that get in the way of providing world-class mental health care. We are constantly working with our therapists to lower the administrative aspects of their job to the absolute minimum, so they have more time to focus on what they love-serving clients! We want our people to be happy, because happy therapists do better work!

Employee Experience
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!
Company Structure
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?
