Are you an experienced LCSW-C who loves clinical work but also gets excited about helping other therapists grow? Do you enjoy mentoring, problem-solving, building teams, and occasionally being the person everyone comes to with the question, "Hey, do you have a minute?"
If so, keep reading.
Ellie Mental Health Midlothian is looking for an energetic, experienced Clinical Supervisor to join our team. This role is perfect for a Virginia Board-Approved Supervisor who enjoys balancing a meaningful clinical caseload with leadership, supervision, and helping build something great.
This position will maintain a caseload of approximately 18 client sessions per week while supporting, supervising, and developing a team of resident therapists. As we continue to grow, there will be opportunities for additional leadership and advancement within the organization.
At Ellie, we do things a little differently.
We were founded on the belief that mental health care should be accessible, welcoming, and free from stigma. We know the mental health field can sometimes take itself very seriously (and sometimes it should), but we also believe that authenticity, connection, and even a little humor can go a long way.
Our culture is built around our core values of authenticity, humor, compassion, creativity, acceptance, and determination. We work hard, support each other, celebrate wins, problem-solve challenges, and occasionally survive the chaos together with coffee and sarcasm.
If you're looking for a place where you can make a meaningful impact, be authentically yourself, help develop amazing clinicians, and maybe laugh a little along the way, we'd love to meet you.

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?
