Ellie Mental Health was founded in 2015 by licensed clinicians in Minneapolis. Since then, the Ellie Family has continued to grow with multiple clinics nationwide and a growing number of locally owned and operated franchises across the country. We currently have 2 locations in Libertyville and Bannockburn/Deerfield, IL, with plans of continued expansion in Gurnee (August 2026).
