At Ellie Mental Health, we believe great therapy starts with well-supported clinicians, not productivity robots. We’re on a mission to make mental health care more human, accessible, and sustainable for clients and clinicians.
We’re seeking a Part-Time Psychologist (PsyD or PhD) for our outpatient clinics in Woodbridge and Manassas, serving the greater Prince William County area. If you can give 15–20 hours a week and want to balance your own clinical work with mentoring new clinicians while helping us build psychological testing services, this could be your role. You’ll be based at either clinic, with flexibility to work remotely, in a blended in-person and telehealth model.
This role is a great fit if you:
- Value mentoring early-career clinicians
- Care deeply about clients and your team
- Communicate openly, kindly, and proactively
- Are self-directed but enjoy collaboration
- Want clinical autonomy without feeling isolated
What you’ll do:
- Supervise Residents in Counseling, Residents in Marriage and Family Therapy, and Supervisees in Social Work on case conceptualization, treatment planning, and documentation
- Review and approve supervisee documentation within 48 hours
- Help us build out ADHD assessment and testing services, and conduct psychological assessments as appropriate
- Maintain a small caseload of individuals, families, and/or groups using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, and MI
- Attend clinical team meetings and trainings, and respond promptly to the Clinical Director and Owner
- Complete your own documentation within 48 hours
Why Ellie works differently:
We remove the daily obstacles that get in the way of great care. Centralized administrative support, technology, referrals, scheduling, and client/therapist matching let you focus on clients and supervisees, with regular support from your Clinic Director and Owner.
What we offer:
- Competitive compensation
- Flexible hours and hybrid scheduling
- Comfortable, fully furnished offices with a warm, community feel
- Clinical autonomy and respect for your professional judgment
- A collaborative culture rooted in creativity, authenticity, humor, compassion, acceptance, and determination
- Clear growth paths and the chance to shape the next generation of clinicians
Required qualifications:
- Doctoral degree (PsyD or PhD) in Psychology, Counseling, or a related field from an accredited institution
- Active license as a psychologist in Virginia
- 2+ years of post-licensure experience in psychological assessment and psychotherapy with children, adolescents, adults, and/or families
- Experience supervising prelicensed therapists, graduate interns, and/or postdoctoral fellows
- Strong written and verbal communication and timely documentation
- Proficiency in Office 365 and EHR systems (Valant a plus)
- Spanish is a plus, not required

Job type: Part-time (15–20 hours/week) · Schedule: Choose your own hours · Location: Woodbridge or Manassas, VA, with some remote work
Seeking creative & collaborative humans with a passion for changing mental health care in fun and meaningful ways.
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?
