Job description

The Problem

Severe mental illness affects over 15 million adults in the United States. Schizophrenia. Schizoaffective disorder. Bipolar I. Treatment-resistant depression. 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. None of it has been built. This is a frontier problem, and it requires frontier science and care delivery to solve.

We are developing all of it. The care, the science, the technology.

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 NewYork-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 Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to join our Upper East Side, NY and Brooklyn clinics. As part of an interdisciplinary team, you will deliver personalized, compassionate, high-quality care to individuals living with serious mental illness (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
• Conduct psychiatric evaluations and assessments and provide ongoing medication management for patients with serious mental illness
• Develop individualized treatment plans focused on addressing 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 closely with behavioral health providers to ensure an integrated, cohesive approach to care
• Address medical and behavioral health needs to mitigate the negative impacts of social determinants of health
• Educate patients and families about mental health conditions, treatment options, and recovery planning

What You'll Have

• Master's or Doctoral degree in Nursing from an accredited program
• Board certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC)
• Active, unrestricted New York State NP license and prescriptive authority in good standing
• DEA registration (or ability to obtain)
• In possession of or willingness to obtain Clozapine REMS certification and Medicaid enrollment, if needed
• A minimum of 2 years working with SMI/outpatient
• Familiarity with the medical, mental health, and social service systems in the greater NYC area
• Holistic perspective on health and understanding of patient rights
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively with people from diverse backgrounds
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills and ability to adapt in a dynamic environment
• Comfort with technology and a passion for using 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
