Description
Ellie Mental Health was proudly founded on the principle of destigmatizing therapy.

We want our people to be happy, because happy therapists do better work!

Don’t meet EVERY requirement?
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. Ellie Mental Health Livonia is devoted to purposefully building an inclusive and diverse workplace where all who enter can be their authentic selves! (Authenticity is one of our core values, after all…) If you’re excited about the chance to be a change-maker with us, but your experience doesn’t perfectly align with each qualification of the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. Our mental health jobs need dedicated individuals from every background who are willing to care for others. Who knows, you might just be the perfect candidate for another role!
