What You'll Do

• Provide outpatient psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and their families
• Conduct comprehensive diagnostic assessments and develop individualized treatment plans
• Utilize developmentally appropriate, evidence-based interventions
• Collaborate with parents, caregivers, schools, pediatricians, and other providers as clinically appropriate
• Maintain timely and accurate clinical documentation, including assessments, treatment plans, and progress notes

We're Looking For Someone Who

• Is a fully licensed LPC or LCSW (or Wisconsin equivalent)
• Holds a Master's degree in Counseling, Social Work, or another behavioral health field from an accredited program
• Has experience providing therapy to children and adolescents (ages 5+) and enjoys working with families

Independent franchisees are Equal Opportunity employers committed to diverse and inclusive workforces. Franchisees are independent business people and not employed by Ellie Family Services, PLLP, d/b/a “Ellie Mental Health”, Ellie MSO, LLC, or Ellie FAM LLC. Thus, each franchisee and each franchisee clinic is unique and the franchisee is alone responsible for all employment matters in their clinic, including the terms and conditions of employment for their employees, such as hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing and scheduling. Depending on the clinic location you select, the job for which you apply may be in a clinic owned and operated by an independent franchisee, and not with the corporate-owned clinics, which are based in Minnesota. This means the franchisee, not Ellie Family Services, PLLP, is responsible for all employment matters at the clinic. If you are hired for the job, the franchisee will be your employer, not Ellie Family Services, PLLP or any of its affiliated entities. For franchisee clinic locations, please contact the franchisee organization directly to the extent you need assistance in completing forms or otherwise participating in that franchisee’s application process.

Flexible work from home options available.
