Want a leadership role where you're not just managing a caseload, but building a team and shaping a clinic? Ellie Mental Health is looking for a Virginia-licensed LCSW Clinical Supervisor to step into leadership now, on a track with real room to grow as the clinic grows.

What you'll do
- Carry a manageable caseload of 20–22 clients per week
- Provide weekly clinical supervision and mentorship to pre-licensed therapists (MSW/LMSW), building to a full team of up to 6 supervisees over your first several months

- 1–2+ years of clinical supervision experience (private practice preferred)
- A master's degree or higher in social work or a related behavioral science field
- Strong working knowledge of Virginia mental health regulations
- A natural mentor — someone who loves pouring into supervisees and helping early-career clinicians find their footing
- Comfort working in a role where strong performance is rewarded
What you'll earn
- $61–$84 per clinical hour — a clinical base plus commission on every session, with your exact rate depending on payer mix
- $92,000–$114,000 in total annual compensation once you combine clinical pay, your supervision stipend, and benefits
- Supervisor stipend of up to $2,400/month — your pay grows as your team grows toward six supervisees
- Guaranteed pay during your 4-week onboarding while you build your caseload
- $1,000 sign-on bonus for full-time hires starting before [UPDATE DATE], paid after 90 days
Benefits
- Company health plan (eligible after 60 days; opt out and your commission rate increases)
- Malpractice insurance fully covered
- 80 hours of PTO/sick leave, plus 7 paid federal holidays
- Free CEU library to keep your license and skills sharp
- Wellness benefits, on-site gym, free parking, and quarterly team activities
Why Ellie
- A genuine leadership track — room to grow your scope and influence as the clinic expands
- A flexible hybrid schedule (some evening availability needed)
- A culture built on authenticity, compassion, humor, and creativity — we take the work seriously, not ourselves

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 is devoted to purposefully building an inclusive and diverse workplace where all of our humans 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 past experience doesn’t perfectly align with every single qualification of the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. Our mental health jobs need dedicated individuals from every background who are willing to care for others. And who knows, you might just be the perfect candidate for another role!
Employee Experience
We take care of our people. It’s that simple. From investing in their financial future, to providing wages that shatter the ceiling in our industry to reasonable caseload expectations we ensure that our people are happy. Happy employees do better work and provide better client care! No matter what it is that you do in your mental health career at Ellie, our clients depend on us cultivating an environment where our employees can thrive so that they can thrive too!
Y’all, jobs in mental health are tough jobs with a high risk of emotional fatigue and burnout. At Ellie, we use all of our core values of humor, creativity, authenticity, acceptance, determination, and compassion not just out in our communities, but we turn them inwards too! Our employees have clear growth paths for advancing their careers.
We have created a culture that reminds us that our employees are our leaders!
Company Structure
Ellie is a socially responsible for-profit business, which allows us to be flexible and responsive to our community’s needs. Many mental health and wellness-focused companies are non-profits or government agencies, which rely on the general public, grants, or large donors for funding. This model often results in little creativity and lower compensation for employees, promoting a work culture that just makes people feel “blah.”
Feeling blah doesn’t help employees stay motivated, engaged, or even in their jobs for a very long time! So we created a new model: one that puts flexibility, innovative decision-making, creativity, and our people first, while remaining a socially conscious and responsible for-profit business focused on changing how we treat mental health.
In short, we’re just people helping people. Wanna join the herd?
