Who We Are

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 New York-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Novant Health, and CommonSpirit Health.

Why We Are Different

• Integrated care, not a referral network. Psychiatrists, therapists, primary care providers, dietitians, and community health workers work side-by-side and share responsibility for the same patients.
• Practice at the top of your license. Manageable caseloads, meaningful clinical depth, and purpose-built tools designed for this population.
• Continuous learning. Through our collaboration with Mass General Brigham, clinicians receive ongoing training, supervision, and mentorship in evidence-based SMI care.
• Advancing the field. Our clinicians contribute to new outcomes frameworks and research shaping the future of severe mental illness care.
• A model built for sustainability. Team-based care, thoughtful caseloads, and strong infrastructure make this work meaningful—and sustainable over time.

The Role

We are hiring a Psychiatrist (PT) to join our clinic opening in Orange, CA. You would be part of an interdisciplinary team dedicated to delivering personalized, compassionate, high-quality care for individuals with SMI.

What You'll Do

• Provide behavioral healthcare management to Amae Health patients; monitor and manage care through an array of treatment modalities as patients progress through phases of recovery
• Develop individualized treatment plans during the engagement and stabilization phase, focused on specific psychosocial and medical needs that might limit recovery
• Provide continuous, regular consultations as patients navigate recovery, both in person and occasionally virtually
• Liaise with patient care teams and collaborate with behavioral health providers to ensure an integrated, cohesive approach to care
• Address medical needs to mitigate negative impacts of social determinants of health

What You'll Have

• Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Psychiatrist, with a CA license and DEA that are active, unrestricted, and in good standing
• In possession of or willing to obtain Clozapine REMS certification and Medicaid enrollment if needed
• Prior experience with mental health and/or addiction issues; familiarity with the medical, mental health, and social service systems in the Orange County area
• Holistic perspective on health and understanding of patient rights
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a wide range of settings with people from diverse backgrounds
• Comfort working one-on-one or in group settings; strong coaching and negotiation skills
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills and ease adapting in a dynamic environment
• Solid understanding of technology and a passion for utilizing technology to improve care delivery

What We're Building

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.

Compensation & Benefits

Amae Health is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. The base salary for this part-time role will be prorated from a full-time equivalent range of $300,000- $330,000 per year + performance-based bonus opportunity.
