We work with industry leaders, such as Morgan Stanley, Uber, Amgen, and other Fortune 500 companies, to improve access to effective, high-quality mental health care for their employees and their families. With our innovative digital care platform and global provider network, 20 million people can receive the best care and feel better, faster. Founded by David Ebersman, former CFO of Facebook and Genentech, Lyra has raised more than $900 million in funding to support our mission of transforming access to life-changing mental health care.

FURTHER EXPANDING ACCESS: We are currently prioritizing hiring clinicians, counselors, mental health providers, psychologists, and therapists in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington.

We will continue to welcome applications from all other states, and sponsor cross-licensure across selected states to ensure clinicians are set up for success to support caseload goals. As always, thank you for your continued interest in Lyra Health!

About the Role

Lyra developed an innovative video therapy program called Lyra Care Therapy: blending live video sessions with between-session digital psychoeducation and customizable skill building tools. With this program, you’ll have the resources and support you need to ensure that your clients get better—all while improving access to mental health care from your home or preferred setting.

Responsibilities

• Daily: As a Lyra Care Therapist, you’ll provide short-term, evidence-based treatment via live video, maintaining a caseload of diverse and varied clinical needs. You’ll assign digital lessons, videos, and assessments to your clients to enhance learnings and monitor outcomes between sessions. Lyra’s clients come from a multitude of different backgrounds and experiences, with varying needs and abilities. We strive to deliver culturally responsive care that accounts for the impact of cultural backgrounds on each person’s care experience.
• Regularly: You’ll connect with peers to share a passion for evidence-based care, attend one-on-one and peer group clinical consultation meetings, conduct peer-based quality assurance reviews, and participate in robust training to enhance your clinical skills. You’ll have access to expert consultation and support for your most complex clients, including specialty consultations and culturally responsive care, even while working remotely within the US.
• This role is a good fit if you are a licensed clinician with strong interpersonal skills, seeking continuous learning and development, and thrive in a feedback-rich environment. If you have experience with a caseload spanning mild to complex and severe presentations, you are encouraged to apply. If you are comfortable with evolving processes and excited by a rapidly growing business, this role is for you.

• 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)
• Experience managing risk and responding to clinical crises, as needed
• Experience providing telehealth therapy services in a virtual environment (video and teletherapy) preferred but not required
• Computer and live video tools literacy (e.g., Zoom, Google Meets, DoxyMe, Skype, etc.)
