About Lyra

Lyra Health is the leading provider of mental health solutions for employers supporting more than 20 million people globally. The company has published more than 20 peer-reviewed studies, and delivered unmatched outcomes in terms of access, clinical effectiveness and cost efficiency. Extensive peer-reviewed research confirms Lyra’s transformative care model helps people recover twice as fast and results in a 26% annual reduction in overall healthcare claims costs.

Lyra is transforming access to life‑changing mental health care through Lyra Empower, the only fully integrated, AI‑powered platform combining the highest-quality care and technology solutions.

Lyra’s provider network is composed of in-person and virtual therapists, physicians, and coaches across the US. With our advanced matching technology, supportive provider platform, and opportunities for training and clinical consultation, being part of our network is an incredible chance to do what you love (client care) with support for the things you don’t love (self‑promotion and scheduling).

We are looking for independently licensed clinical therapists interested in providing culturally responsive, evidence-based therapy for children, adults, couples, and/or families. We encourage clinicians with experience managing caseloads that include a comprehensive spectrum of mental health needs—from milder presentations to more complex and severe support—to apply. The ideal candidate will:

• Be able to work with clients in person or through a private or group practice.

• Unrestricted LCSW, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, PhD, or equivalent license (i.e., able to work independently, without supervision from a licensed supervisor) with no current, past, or pending disciplinary action
• Experience and commitment to providing evidence-based treatments (e.g., ACT, CBT, CPT, DBT) and clinical best practices (e.g., measurement‑based care, promoting skills practice)
• Ability to provide care to children, adults, couples, and/or families with a strong preference for in‑person care delivery
• Must have office space with ability to see clients in the New York area
• Experience managing risk and responding to clinical crises, as needed
