Registered Dietitian

Transforming the lives of those affected by severe mental illness

At Amae Health, we are dedicated to helping the 15.4 million Americans living with severe mental illness (SMI) lead stable, meaningful lives, while ending the cycle of repeat hospitalizations. In partnership with some of the nation’s top academic medical centers we’ve pioneered an innovative outpatient care model that combines compassionate, in‑person psychiatric care with comprehensive wraparound support. Our integrated care teams — including psychiatrists, therapists, primary care physicians, health coaches, and peer support specialists — work together to treat the whole person via a unique model, addressing physical, mental, and social needs in unison.

By caring for every aspect of our patients’ well‑being, we help them not just survive, but truly thrive.

Amae Health is a Series B venture‑backed Public Benefit Corporation dedicated to becoming the nation's center of excellence for individuals living with severe mental illness (SMI). Backed by top‑tier venture capital firms and strategic healthcare investors, we collaborate with prestigious health systems including New York‑Presbyterian, Stanford Healthcare, and Cedars‑Sinai, underscoring our commitment to fundamentally transforming mental health care delivery at scale.

We are looking for a full time Registered Dietitian to join our team onsite at our clinic opening soon in Charlotte, NC. This is an opportunity to join an interdisciplinary team committed to providing personalized, compassionate and high‑quality SMI care.

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.

Human‑centered and empathetic, you take an individualized and patient‑centered approach to your work. You are passionate about educating and empowering patients, and take great pride in seeing how evidence‑based dietary guidance can drastically improve the quality of life for complex patient populations. You are a team‑player, thrive in a collaborative environment, and are excited about being part of a team that is redefining how we care for patients with SMI.
