Do you want to be a driving force to help destigmatize mental health? Are you looking for a private practice with an established team that is driven by its core values? Then come join our multi-location clinic for Ellie Mental Health in the Chicago Western Suburbs (Downers Grove, Itasca & Oak Brook) at our Oak Brook location.

We are looking for therapists who are aligned with our values of Creativity, Humor, Acceptance, Determination, Compassion & Authenticity. We offer incredible work-life balance, flexibility to set your schedule, a warm and inviting office, and more of the good stuff while removing the "busy" stuff from a traditional private practice setting.

New clients will be able to book direct through our online scheduling systems or client phone calls will be routed, answered, matched, and scheduled by our dedicated client care team. Another dedicated team manages billing and collections to ensure all insurance claims get processed and paid promptly.
