Wanting to contribute to something totally new alongside a group of dedicated professionals?
We are Ellie: a new outpatient therapy clinic in Denver West. We're expanding our amazing team with child-focused LPCCs. Ellie clinicians are empowered to approach our clients creatively and authentically, and we're passionate about contributing to a work environment we are excited to be a part of.
Ellie makes the clinician’s experience a priority by offering: excellent compensation, supervision, benefits, training, and flexible scheduling. Clinicians are supported with centralized administrative, technology, referral and inquiry support, scheduling, client/therapist matching, billing and collections, and even CEU programs. We strive to lower the administrative aspects of providing care to the absolute minimum, so our practitioners have more time to focus on what they love - serving clients and being authentic people!!
How are we different?
We believe diversity thrives when united by shared purpose. Ellie Denver West is on a singular mission to improve lives in Denver West and surrounding communities. We believe this requires a fresh approach to improving the quality, accessibility, and fit of mental health care in our communities. It requires a team as diverse as the communities we serve, yet firmly united by our shared home and mission. It’s what we call EllieFam, and it’s the most important part of what we do.
Here’s a little of what EllieFam means to us:
- Taking care in selecting & supporting our clinicians is the most effective path to taking care of our community. We provide support through shared definitions of success and autonomy for you to achieve that success. One measurable example of how we achieve this is your time:
- Personalized schedules within available clinic hours
- Hybrid session environment (in-person and telehealth)
- All of your time is valuable- clinicians don’t work for free and are paid for administrative time, CEU time, consult time, etc.
- Educational attainment, licensure status, and lived experience are all valuable. Our compensation model reflects this.
