Child & Adolescent Therapist

4 hours ago

Newton, Massachusetts, United States Ellie Mental Health - 182 Full time $63,000 - $123,000

Have you been burnt out by excessive productivity requirements? Have you worked in a toxic environment where your voice wasn't heard? If so, WE WANT YOU
 
Ellie Mental Health in Newton is seeking creative, compassionate, and child/adolescent-focused therapists who are seeking a different employment experience to ignite their creativity while minimizing the barriers that come with traditional therapy practices. We are especially looking for clinicians with experience working with children and teens and availability during afternoons, evenings, and/or at least one weekend day to meet the growing needs of families in our community. That said, your schedule isn't limited to those hours—daytime sessions are an option and welcome too; we just have the biggest need later in the day. 

This role offers flexibility, autonomy, and hybrid work options, while still providing the structure and support of an in-person team. You'll help children, teens, and their families thrive through developmentally appropriate, evidence-based, and creative interventions—and you'll do it within a workplace that truly values authenticity, humor, compassion, creativity, acceptance, and determination.

At Ellie, we prioritize our therapists just as much as our clients. We believe that happy therapists make the best therapists, and our benefits, culture, and support reflect that.
 
Salary Range: $63,000 - $123,000

What we offer

Responsibilities include:

•  Provide therapy to children and adolescents, using developmentally appropriate and creative, play and/or expressive based interventions

•  Work collaboratively with caregivers, schools, and other providers for wraparound support

•  While caseload is primarily youth-focused, there is also opportunity to work with adults across the lifespan

•  Complete diagnostic assessments, treatment plans, and timely case documentation

•  Maintain a minimum of 25 weekly client sessions for full-time status

•  Attend weekly team meetings/group supervision, trainings, and contribute to Ellie's collaborative, inclusive environment
