About The Position

Amae Health is hiring a Mental Health Therapist to work onsite at its Los Angeles, California clinic. The therapist will provide individual and group therapy to adults with complex severe mental illness (SMI), offering regular support as patients navigate recovery in person and occasionally virtually.

The role includes collaboration with patient care teams and behavioral health providers, addressing medical needs that may be affected by social determinants of health, and consulting with therapists on the treatment team—including licensed therapists and trainees—to support program development. Onsite supervision is available for limited permits. Amae Health operates high-acuity outpatient clinics and is developing coordinated longitudinal care, clinical tools, research, and outcomes frameworks for people with SMI.
