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 Mass General Brigham, New York-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, 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 Psychologist to join our soon-to-open Boston, MA clinic, as part of an interdisciplinary team dedicated to delivering personalized, compassionate, high-quality care for individuals with SMI. As an Amae Health employee, this role will deliver care in a clinic owned and operated by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).

  • What You Will Work On
  • Provide individual and group therapy to a panel of complex SMI patients
  • Provide continuous, regular support as patients navigate recovery, both in person and occasionally virtually
  • Deliver evidence-based care in a holistic, wrap-around care model
  • Collaborate with patient care teams and behavioral health providers to ensure an integrated, cohesive approach to care
  • Address medical needs to mitigate negative impacts of social determinants of health
  • Provide consultation to therapists on the treatment team, including licensed therapists and trainees; assist with program development

What You'll Have

Active Licensed Psychologist in Massachusetts, with active NPI and Medicaid/Medicare enrollment required

Thrives in a collaborative team environment and establishes positive relationships with other medical professionals

Experience and interest in working with adults and at least 1 year of experience working with patients with severe mental illness

  • Experience in evidence-based interventions, including CBT, DBT, or MI
  • Ability to navigate challenging situations with professionalism
  • Thorough understanding of confidentiality and appropriate documentation standards
  • Technologically savvy, with the ability to learn and navigate new tools and technologies
  • Highly organized with the ability to work autonomously
  • Strong listening skills and excellent verbal communication capabilities

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 partnership 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. Base salary range for this role is $125,000–$155,000 per year based on a full-time schedule. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage. Parental leave and programs built around well-being. We'll share specifics during the interview process.

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.

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.

Key Responsibilities

Provide individual and group therapy to a panel of complex patients with severe mental illness within an integrated care model. Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and provide consultation to other therapists to ensure cohesive patient recovery.

Requirements

Must be a Licensed Psychologist in Massachusetts with active NPI and Medicaid/Medicare enrollment. Requires at least one year of experience working with adults with severe mental illness and proficiency in evidence-based interventions.
