“Not only do we provide quality health care for the community we love – we are major contributors in the fight to end mental health stigmas.”
“Elliott Counseling Group is the total package. From day one, I have felt a sense of belonging and worth, not just as an employee, but as an individual. I am treated with respect, consideration, and compassion on all tiers of the staff- and this translates over in the work we do. Elliott Counseling Group values each client on a personal level. I don’t know any place I’d rather be than with Elliott Counseling Group.“
“I started working at Elliott Counseling Group in 2017. I have helped in other areas but my primary job has been in the Client Care department. I have loved the opportunity to talk to the clients that are seeking counseling and helping them feel cared for and getting them established with a counselor that best fits their needs. I stopped working for about a year after I had my second child and as soon as I was seeking employment again, I was welcomed back with open arms. Elliott Counseling Group is great at meeting you right where you are, whether you are a client or a staff member and I couldn’t be more thankful for that. I have always felt respected, valued, supported, and a part of the ECG family. ”
