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 looking for an additional full time Registered Dietitian to join our team onsite at our Los Angeles, CA clinic. This is an opportunity to join an interdisciplinary team committed to providing personalized, compassionate and high-quality SMI care. The Opportunity: Dietitians at Amae are a critical part of our patient’s care journey, supporting their physical health as well as their mental health. Reporting to the Clinic Director, the Dietitian is accountable for assessing clients’ physical health, and developing comprehensive health plans that focus on lifestyle changes across the physical-mental health spectrum  - inclusive of diet, exercise, sleep, financial health, relationship health, and treatment compliance. Via individual and group coaching sessions, our goal is to help patients maintain their treatment goals, and give them the tools to reduce stress and improve mindfulness, nutrition and medication adherence and increase physical exercise. What You’ll Work On: Clinical Nutrition & Patient Support - Provide evidence-based nutrition counseling to patients with severe mental illness. - Conduct assessments to identify health and behavioral needs and create individualized coaching plans. - Implement behavior-change strategies, address barriers, and adjust plans based on patient progress. - Support dietary and nutrition-led interventions in partnership with dietitians/nutritionists. Wellness Programming - Lead daily and weekly group activities that promote light movement, physical wellness, and healthy routines. Interdisciplinary Care Coordination - Collaborate with psychiatrists, therapists, and care teams to share updates on patient goals, progress, and clinical considerations. - Participate in research initiatives by implementing therapeutic dietary protocols (e.g., ketogenic interventions) and collecting outcome data. What You’ll Have: - 2+ years of experience as a Registered Dietitian, working with complex patient populations, preferably in the mental health space - Bachelor’s degree (BA/BS) in a relevant field such as Nutrition, Dietetics, or a related area from an ACEND-accredited program, along with current registration with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) - Strong interpersonal skills and a demonstrated ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team - Solid understanding of basic workplace technology, and an interest in utilizing technology to improve outcomes for patients ## What We're Building Most healthcare companies ask you to optimize an existing system. We're building one that has never existed. - A national care model designed for the highest-acuity patients in behavioral health. - Precision medicine for severe mental illness, using multimodal clinical, behavioral, and social data to personalize treatment. - A clinical operating system that integrates longitudinal data, real-time patient signals, and purpose-built tools into a single decision layer. - New science and measurement frameworks to define what real outcomes look like in SMI. - A health-system partnership model proving 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 $75,000 - $105,000 per year + performance-based bonus opportunity. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage. Parental leave and programs built around well-being. We’ll share specifics during the interview process. Amae Health is building the care platform, the precision medicine, and the frontier science that severe mental illness has never had. If you want to be part of creating something this hard and this important, something that has never been done, 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. ## About Amae Health ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Amae Health is a Public Benefit Corporation that delivers specialty, in-person outpatient care for people living with severe mental illness (SMI), integrating psychiatry, therapy, primary care, and peer support under one roof. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B) - **Headquarters**: Los Angeles, California, USA (with a secondary office in San Francisco, CA) - **Founded**: 2022 - **Founders**: Sonia Garcia (Co-Founder & CEO) and Stas Sokolin (Co-Founder & Chief Growth Officer) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Healthcare — Specialty Mental Health & Psychiatric Care - **Target customers**: B2C — Adults (18+) living with severe mental illness (SMI), including conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. - **Mission or purpose statement**: To establish a center of excellence for SMI, using advanced technology and data-driven insights to transform how severe mental illness is diagnosed, treated, and understood.
