About The Position

Amae Health is a Series B, venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation that delivers specialty outpatient care for people living with severe mental illness, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar I disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. We design and operate high-acuity, in-person clinics across the United States. Our model integrates psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community health workers under one roof to deliver coordinated, longitudinal care for a population that has historically been fragmented across systems. Leading health systems collaborate with Amae to bring this model to their communities, including NewYork-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Novant Health, and CommonSpirit Health. We are hiring a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) (full- or part-time) to join our growing Brooklyn clinic as part of an interdisciplinary team dedicated to delivering personalized, compassionate, high-quality care for individuals with SMI. As a clinician at Amae, you are not adjacent to this work. You are essential to it. A national care delivery model for the highest-acuity patients in behavioral health. Precision medicine for SMI. Individualized treatment informed by multimodal clinical, behavioral, and social data. A clinical operating system that puts longitudinal data, real-time patient signals, and purpose-built tools into a single decision layer for care teams. Frontier science and measurement: defining and validating the outcomes frameworks that this field has never had. Hospitalizations avoided, days stable, functional improvement, and more. A collaboration model with the country's leading health systems that proves coordinated SMI care can work at scale.
