Outpatient Mental Health Registered Intern

About Ellie Mental Health

At Ellie Mental Health, we're giving mental health care a much-needed facelift. Life can be hard, and struggling with your mental health doesn't make you weak or less than. We believe it's okay not to be okay — and we're working to make mental health care feel normal, comfortable, and even a little fun.

We believe clinicians do their best work when they can focus on people instead of paperwork and administrative headaches. That's why Ellie is built to remove many of the daily obstacles that get in the way of providing great care.

Our team values:

• Authenticity and inclusion
• Creativity and innovation
• Compassion and acceptance
• Humor and connection
• Flexible scheduling and autonomy
• Ongoing learning and professional development
• Collaborative, supportive teamwork

If you want to do meaningful clinical work without getting buried in the "busy stuff," we'd love to meet you.
