Mental Health Rehabilitation Specialist

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 delivering specialty outpatient care for people with severe mental illness through high-acuity, in-person clinics nationwide.

Our integrated model brings psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community support together under one roof. Leading health systems—including NewYork-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Novant Health, and CommonSpirit—collaborate with us to expand this level of care.

Alongside care delivery, we are building the science and technology the field has long lacked—proprietary clinical protocols, novel measurement, and an AI-driven data platform designed for severe mental illness.

The impact: fewer hospitalizations, greater stability, and more people living meaningful lives in their communities.

The Team

We are clinicians, operators, technologists, and scientists who chose Amae because the problem is hard and the stakes are real. We are not interested in incremental improvements to a broken system. Our teams work cross-functionally because the work demands it. The psychiatrist informs the product roadmap. Engineers understand the clinical complexity their technology must solve. Researchers sit alongside the operators running the clinics their work measures.

Every function—finance, product, people, growth, technology—exists to serve one goal: better outcomes for the people we care for.

The Role

We are hiring a full-time Mental Health Rehabilitation Specialist (MHRS) to join our team at our Los Angeles Westwood clinic. As a key member of the interdisciplinary clinic team, you'll help members build the skills and confidence to live more independent, connected, and meaningful lives.

The Opportunity:

As a key member of the interdisciplinary clinic team, the Mental Health Rehabilitation Specialist (MHRS) helps members build the skills and confidence to live more independent, connected, and meaningful lives. You’ll lead psychosocial rehabilitation and life-skills groups, teach illness self-management and independent living skills, and support members’ community integration and vocational readiness. Working closely with our psychiatrists, therapists, and the broader care team, you’ll contribute to treatment planning, supporting members with medication adherence, and helping connect members to the resources they need. You’ll also ensure your rehabilitation services are documented in a Medi-Cal compliant way. This is a hands-on, member-facing role, ideal for someone passionate about recovery-oriented care and excited to make a meaningful impact in their community.

About You:

You’re an experienced, compassionate behavioral health professional who believes in recovery and meets people where they are. You’re a confident group facilitator, comfortable working with adults living with serious mental illness, and you bring patience, structure, and positive energy to everything you do. You thrive as part of a multidisciplinary team, communicate openly, and stay organized and thorough in your documentation. Curious and eager to learn, you welcome feedback and are motivated to keep growing your skills. Most of all, you lead with empathy and keep members at the heart of everything you do. If you’re excited to help shape a growing clinic and make a lasting impact in your community, we’d love to hear from you!
