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.

About The Opportunity

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 (like client care) with support for the things you don’t love (like self promotion and scheduling).

This opportunity is a great fit

We encourage clinicians who have experience with caseloads that include a comprehensive spectrum of mental health needs, from milder presentations to more complex and severe support. This opportunity is a great fit for providers seeking well-matched and motivated clients, administrative and marketing support, and easy invoicing with quick payments. The ability to work with clients in person through your private or group practice is strongly preferred. We are looking for clinicians who are able to work with clients in these locations: Yankton.

Requirements

• Master’s or doctoral degree from a clinical track (e.g., MSW, MFT, MC, MMHC, PhD, PsyD)
• Unrestricted LCSW, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, PhD, or equivalent license (able to work independently, without supervision from a licensed supervisor) without current, past, or pending disciplinary action
• Experience and commitment to providing evidence-based treatments (e.g., ACT, CBT, CPT, DBT) and clinical best practices (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 South Dakota area
• Experience managing risk and responding to clinical crises, as needed
• Full-time resident of the United States

Benefits

• Connect with highly compatible clients thanks to Lyra’s powerful matching algorithm technology
• Set your own schedule, without a minimum hours requirement
• Let Lyra clients easily book appointments with the Lyra Calendar feature, which seamlessly integrates with your calendar
• Focus less on the administrative burden of billing with Lyra’s paperless billing and quick payment turnaround
• Access Lyra’s experienced clinical consultations team to get rapid support with your Lyra clients as well as access a range of specialty group consultation meetings
• Have peace of mind with Lyra’s 24/7 Care Navigation team for crisis support
