Job description

About Lyra

Lyra is transforming mental health care through technology with a human touch to help people feel emotionally healthy at work and at home. 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, nearly 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 improving access to high quality mental healthcare.

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. This role is dedicated to our new virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (vIOP) that leverages our Lyra Care model for mental and behavioral health concerns. 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.

Daily: As a vIOP Therapist, you’ll provide short-term, evidence-based treatment via live video with clients engaged in the vIOP or outpatient care. You’ll conduct individual sessions and group skills training sessions, 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. An important note: Lyra's clients come from a multitude of different backgrounds and experiences, and have varying needs and abilities. We strive to continue to meet their unique needs by delivering culturally responsive care—an approach that accounts for the impact of cultural backgrounds on each person’s care experience.

Regularly: Our therapists enjoy connecting with their peers, who share a passion for providing evidence-based care. You’ll attend one-on-one and peer group clinical consultation meetings, conduct peer-based quality assurance reviews, and attend robust training to enhance your clinical skills. You’ll attend a vIOP multidisciplinary team meeting, where you’ll have access to medical consultations with an expert psychiatrist. You’ll always have access to expert consultation and support for your most complex clients. It’s like a safety net of resources to help plan the best options—from specialty consultations to culturally responsive care—you’re not alone, even while working remotely within the US.

This role is a great fit for licensed clinicians in California with excellent interpersonal skills, who want continuous learning and development in their professional career, and thrive in a feedback rich environment. We are looking for clinicians who have experience with caseloads that include a comprehensive spectrum of mental health needs, including treatment for anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and trauma from milder presentations to more complex and severe support, we encourage you to apply. Providers who are comfortable with evolving processes and excited by a rapidly growing business, then this role is for you!

Requirements

• Master’s degree from a clinical track (e.g., MSW, MFT, MC, MMHC) or PhD/PSYD in clinical or counseling psychology from an accredited graduate program
• Unrestricted LCSW, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, PhD, or equivalent license in California (i.e., 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, ERP) 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.)
• Experience maintaining a full clinical caseload of adult and/or adolescent clients/week (30 potential bookable calendar spots)
• Ability to reserve some time in your schedule in the afternoons and evenings
• Ability to work full-time, approximately 40 hours per week
• Full-time resident of the United States
