Ellie Mental Health is expanding its footprint in North Texas with a new clinic inside the Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Frisco. The announcement comes from filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) that detail a $374,375 renovation of a 2,995‑square‑foot medical office space.
Renovation timeline and scope
According to a September 21 filing, construction on the space will begin on Oct. 19 and is slated for completion on Jan. 11, 2027. The renovation will reconfigure the existing office to accommodate private counseling rooms, group‑therapy spaces, and administrative areas needed for Ellie’s comprehensive mental‑health services.
Services offered
Ellie Mental Health provides a range of counseling and therapy options for individuals, couples, families and children. Licensed mental‑health professionals will deliver personalized treatment plans that address anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and other emotional concerns. The new Frisco location will allow residents to access these services closer to home, reducing travel time and easing the burden on existing providers in the area.
Impact on the Frisco community
The addition of a dedicated mental‑health clinic aligns with Frisco’s growing population and its need for expanded health resources. Local families, churches, and community groups have long emphasized the importance of accessible, faith‑friendly counseling options. By situating the clinic within a reputable medical center, Ellie Mental Health reinforces the partnership between physical and mental health care, a principle that resonates with the community’s values of family well‑being and personal liberty.
City officials have not yet commented on the project, but the renovation is expected to create short‑term construction jobs and, once operational, a handful of full‑time clinical positions. The presence of another mental‑health provider may also help alleviate waitlists at existing clinics, offering quicker appointments for those seeking help.
What residents should know
When the clinic opens, patients can expect to schedule appointments through Ellie’s online portal or by calling the Frisco office directly. Insurance acceptance and sliding‑scale fee options will be available, ensuring that services remain affordable for a broad range of families.
