Are you passionate about making mental health more accessible and less stigmatized? Join us at Ellie Mental Health in our brand-new Rio Rancho clinic, where you’ll be part of a collaborative, fun, and mission-driven team that lives by our core values: authenticity, humor, compassion, creativity, acceptance, and determination.

We’re hiring both independently and non-independently licensed clinicians who are ready to make a real impact in the community.

Ellie Mental Health was founded to challenge the barriers in traditional mental health care. Here in New Mexico, every Ellie clinic is locally owned, operated, and staffed — meaning your voice matters and your work directly supports your community.

Enjoy Clinical Autonomy & Flexibility

At Ellie, we trust you to do your best work. That means flexibility to set a hybrid schedule that fits your life, whether in-person, virtual, or a mix of both. You’ll also have the freedom to build a caseload aligned with your strengths and passions — we support clinicians in working with the populations and specialties they’re most excited and passionate about.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide diagnostic assessments, develop individualized treatment plans, and deliver effective, creative, evidence-based therapy.
• Maintain timely and thorough documentation (diagnoses, treatment plan reviews, progress notes, etc.) in accordance with Ellie guidelines.
• Collaborate with a supportive, multidisciplinary team and contribute to a culture of innovation and care.
• Coordinate with other providers, schools, families, and case managers as needed to support client success.
• Attend clinical meetings, ongoing trainings, and contribute to a thriving team culture.
• For full-time status: Maintain a caseload that supports a minimum of 25 completed client sessions per week.
  
  
  

What You’ll Need:

• A master’s degree in a behavioral health field (counseling, social work, marriage and family therapy, etc.)
• Active or provisional New Mexico clinical license (LMFT, LPCC, LCSW, LMHC, LMSW, etc.)
• Experience writing diagnostic assessments, treatment plans, and progress notes.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Healthy, professional boundaries and a high level of emotional intelligence.
• Comfort working with clients from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
• Proficiency in using Office 365 and Electronic Health Record systems (Valant experience a plus!).
• If fully licensed, ideally credentialed with major insurance panels (or willing to get paneled quickly).
