The Problem Severe mental illness affects over 15 million adults in the United States. These are the conditions the rest of healthcare has systematically failed to build for.
What makes this problem different from most of healthcare is that the tools to solve it do not exist. The clinical protocols, the measurement science, the precision medicine, the technology to deliver coordinated longitudinal outpatient care for this population. This is a frontier problem, and it requires frontier science and care delivery to solve.
The care, the science, the technology.
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 .
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.
Through our collaboration with Mass General Brigham, clinicians receive ongoing training, supervision, and mentorship in evidence-based SMI care.




Our clinicians contribute to new outcomes frameworks and research shaping the future of severe mental illness care.
Team-based care, thoughtful caseloads, and strong infrastructure make this work meaningful—and sustainable over time.
While we may not have an immediate opening for a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, we welcome applications from strong candidates and may reach out as future hiring needs emerge. In this role, you would work as part of an interdisciplinary team dedicated to delivering personalized, compassionate, high-quality care for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI).

Compensation includes a full time base salary of $170,000 - $200,000 (based on level & experience, part-time will be prorated). Total compensation includes comprehensive medical/dental/vision, PTO, parental leave, and programs built around employee well-being. If you want to practice at the top of your license, learn from the best in academic medicine, contribute to research that is defining a new field, and do it all inside a team that was actually built for this work, we'd like to talk.
We center care in all we do. Empathy is not a brand value. We question it, we test alternatives, and we move with urgency when something works.
We hold a hard bar for quality while leaving room for humor and levity.
