Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

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.

The Role

We are hiring a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) to join our Upper East Side, NY and Brooklyn clinics. This role will work 3 days per week at our Upper East Side location and 1 day per week at our Brooklyn location. 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 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. Compensation includes a full-time base salary of $170,000 - $200,000 (based on level & experience), plus comprehensive medical/dental/vision, PTO, parental leave, and programs built around employee well-being. Part-time roles will have prorated salary and adjusted benefits; we'll share specifics during the interview process.

What We Value

• We center care in all we do. Empathy is not a brand value. It's how we make clinical decisions, build products, and treat each other.
• We challenge convention. The existing system is the problem. We question it, we test alternatives, and we move with urgency when something works.
• We take the work seriously, not ourselves. High standards and humanity are not in tension. We hold a hard bar for quality while leaving room for humor and levity.
• Your job isn't done until the job is done. We close gaps, we follow through, and we don't hide behind titles or org charts.
• We win together and fail together. We own outcomes as a team. We learn fast. We don't do blame.
• We hustle with humility. Speed matters. So does integrity. We assume best intent and stay grounded in the mission.
