More About Amae :

'Amae', pronounced ' Ah-mai' , is a Japanese concept meaning the need to be in good favor with, and the ability to depend on, the people around oneself. It reflects our core belief that a strong support system is essential to build people up, strengthen their will to carry on and even to thrive in life. This mentality applies across our whole company – from the patients we serve to the team we're building.

We're a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) that provides outpatient psychiatric and primary care health services through value-based care arrangements. Our model's success is predicated upon achieving outcomes for our patients, not on the volume of services provided.
