About The Position

Amae Health is a Series B, venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation that delivers specialty outpatient care for people with severe mental illness. We build and operate high-acuity, in-person clinics nationally. Our model integrates psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community support under one roof. It has proven itself as the most effective in the country, which is why we collaborate with leading health systems including NewYork-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Novant Health, and CommonSpirit to extend our care to where it’s needed most. But what makes us fundamentally different is that we are also building the science and technology layer that this field has never had. We are developing proprietary clinical protocols, designing novel measurement science, and engineering an AI data science platform purpose-built for the complexity of severe mental illness. Every patient interaction generates data that feeds back into our protocols, our technology, and our understanding of what actually works. We reduce hospitalizations. We improve stability. We keep people alive and in their communities. We help our members gain purpose and meaning. We are hiring a Mental Health Therapist to join us onsite in our Los Angeles clinic as part of an interdisciplinary team committed to providing personalized, compassionate and high-quality SMI care. As a Mental Health Therapist at Amae you will play an integral role in our collective mission to become the center of excellence for SMI care. In alignment with Amae’s holistic wrap-around care model, you will support a panel of our complex members through individual and group therapy sessions, while also providing psychoeducation and support to patients' families. Working within a collaborative and shared decision making model, you will have the opportunity to partner with clinical staff, peer specialists, primary care providers and community partners. A patient advocate, you will help members navigate the health and social services systems in Los Angeles, connecting patients to resources and the community. Rooted in trust and rapport, you will initiate, establish and maintain relationships not only with patients, but also with families, as you care for members of Amae Health. A clinician who thrives at the intersection of clinical best practice, innovative care models and the latest technology, caring for complex patients is your north star. You take a person-centered approach to your work, deliver evidence-based interventions and practice measurement-based care. If you are excited to work side by side with a dedicated, compassionate interdisciplinary team who are building the center of excellence for SMI care, we would love to hear from you!
