Pros

Being able to provide direct patient care for individuals that are diagnosed with severe mental illness is very rewarding. It allows you to gain deeper perspective of what really matters in life.

Cons

This VC ran clinic seems to care more about external relationships with referral partners and shareholders than appropriate level of care for mental health patients. They often accept patients that are not an appropriate level of care for their services or will reject a patient that is due to not having the correct insurance whilst offering a "scholarship" to other patients. This is an extremely subjective process to decide who meets the "criteria" for the scholarship. This makes it difficult for trained clinicians to share their professional opinion on things because it will either be unheeded or seen as insubordinate. Definite ethics violations around the use of Ai in healthcare record management. Lack of informed consent and defending the autonomy and privacy of their patient's.

Pros

Being around others who care about the mental health of our members as much as I do is so refreshing. The team work we have and the ability to take our work seriously but not ourselves has allowed for a loving and relaxed yet dedicated work environment.

Cons

I have no cons working for Amae Health in Raleigh, NC.

Pros

Help people who need it

Cons

Please note that of the 4–5 star reviews come from corporate staff encouraged to support the company’s image. Those reviews do not reflect the experiences of the clinical staff who do not financially benefit from the company’s success. If you are applying for a clinical role Psychiatrist, therapist, clinical care coordinator, nurse practitioner, or dietitian etc, this review is for you. From experience, burnout among clinical staff becomes very common after the first few months, and meaningful training, support, or recognition is minimal at best. Leadership appears far more focused on growth and client acquisition than maintaining the ethical standards clinicians are expected to uphold. There is constant pressure to enroll clients even when the program may not be the right fit, which creates an uncomfortable conflict for many providers trying to practice ethically. What makes this more concerning is that even clinical leadership (even those with fancy chief status) seem to be financially tied to the company’s performance, making it difficult to trust that patient care is always the priority. In the beginning, the environment may appear supportive and organized, but after few months of paying attention to corporate involvement to changes that happen constantly, the red flags become much harder to ignore and it is evident client care is not the goal. The workload becomes exhausting, concerns are often dismissed, and many clinicians end up feeling unsupported and emotionally drained.
