About Lyra

Lyra Clinical Associates partners with Lyra Health, a leading provider of evidence-based mental health care, serving more than 20 million people globally in partnership with employers and more than 100 million through health plan and partner relationships. The company has delivered more than 15 million sessions of mental health care, published more than 35 peer‑reviewed studies, and delivered unmatched outcomes in terms of access, clinical effectiveness, and cost efficiency. Lyra members have access to care in one day, and nine out of ten improve with the support of providers like you. 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. You will be contracted by Lyra Clinical Associates.

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

We are looking for contract nurse practitioners (NPs) or certified physician assistants (PA‑C) who are passionate about whole‑person, whole‑family mental health care and working within a connected network to provide patients with easily accessible, culturally responsive, high‑quality mental health care.

You’ll provide evidence‑based treatment via live 30‑minute video intake appointments and regular follow‑up appointments. You’ll conduct psychiatric evaluations and provide medication management. Lyra makes it easy to refer patients to evidence‑based therapy and coaching services in tandem with your care. You will provide care to children, teens, and young adults from a multitude of different backgrounds and experiences, as well as those with varying needs and abilities. We strive to continue to meet their unique needs by delivering culturally responsive care – an approach that is mindful of the impact of cultural background on each person’s care experience.

Responsibilities

• Practice comprehensive mental health medication management via a 60‑minute intake appointment and regular follow‑up appointments
• Conduct mental health risk assessments, psychiatric medication evaluations, and longitudinal medication treatment
• Construct patient‑centered treatment plans, document treatment recommendations, message patients, and prescribe and manage psychiatric medications
• Experience and commitment to providing safe, evidence‑based medication treatment that follows clinical best practice guidelines (e.g., measurement‑based care, patient‑centered care, paying close attention, medication minimizing risks, and maximizing benefits)

Requirements

• Graduate from an accredited (CCNE) Psychiatric‑Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) program; OR graduate from an accredited PA program (ARC‑PA) with certification through PANCE with preference for Certificate of Added Qualifications in psychiatry, post‑graduate fellowship in psychiatry, or other academic psychiatry certificate program completion, including a Doctor of Medical Science with Psychiatry concentration
• Unrestricted state license
• A minimum of 2 years in practice
• Strong preference for NPs and PA‑Cs with an active DEA license
• Preference for NPs and PA‑Cs with additional certification or clinical experience with minors
• Must have office space with ability to see clients in Reading
• Ability to provide care to patients with a full range of diagnoses, clinical complexity, and severity levels, with a preference for providers who offer in‑person options
• Full‑time resident of the United States

Advantages of Joining the Lyra Provider Network

• Set your own schedule without a minimum hours requirement
• Focus less on the administrative burden of billing with Lyra’s paperless billing and quick payment turnaround
• Access to a custom‑built calendar for new patients to connect seamlessly
• Access to experienced clinical consultations to get rapid support with your patients as well as access a range of specialty group consultation meetings
• Have peace of mind with Lyra’s 24/7 Care Navigation team for client crisis support
