ELLIE MENTAL HEALTH
Ellie Mental Health franchises operate outpatient counseling and therapy clinics under the “Ellie Mental Health®” service mark, providing counseling, medication management (with franchisor pre-approval), and therapeutic products and services by licensed clinical counselors, therapists, and prescribers. The business model offers two paths: Direct Ownership Model for licensed providers or Managed Operation Model where franchisees provide management services to a practice entity owned by licensed providers, using a proprietary system including EHR, billing, and branding standards. The target market includes individuals, couples, families, and groups of all ages seeking mental health care services.
