Ellie Mental Health was proudly founded in 2015 by Erin Pash, LMFT, and Kyle Keller, LICSW, on the principle of destigmatizing mental health. After opening several Ellie clinics in Minneapolis, Erin and Kyle wanted to bring their vision of expanding access to quality mental health care to communities nationwide. To do this, they began using a franchise model to grow the number of Ellie locations throughout the United States. Ellie now serves California communities through locally owned and operated franchise locations. Ellie's goal is to fill the gap and find innovative ways to break down barriers in the mental health industry. Ellie strives to keep the administrative aspects of providing care to the absolute minimum so therapists have more time to focus on what they love - serving clients!
