About Ellie


Here at Ellie Mental Health, we are joining the mission to fill the gaps, and break down the stigma of mental health by focusing on greater access to professional therapists who can help. The mental health and wellness field presents a lot of barriers not just for patients and those in need, but for the whole community including licensed therapists, counselors, and professional helpers. This is why Ellie Mental Health vows to be different. The Ellie Family provides innovative services with the goal of creating impactful connections between patients and therapists. Ellie clinics are structured to remove many of the daily obstacles that get in the way of providing world-class mental health services. Ellie makes the clinicians experience the best it can be; providing excellent compensation, benefits, training, and flexible schedules while also providing centralized administrative, technology, referral and inquiry support, scheduling, client/therapist matching, billing and collections, and even CEU programs. Ellie strives 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 We want our people to be happy because happy therapists do better work and provide better client care Other clinics may have some similar approaches to these things, but Ellie has found the way to do it all and is bringing our innovative approach to the nation.
