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.

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 psychiatrists 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. As a contract psychiatrist, you’ll provide evidence-based treatment via live 60-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 individuals 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, evidence-based medication treatment that follows clinical best practice guidelines (e.g., measurement based care, patient-centered care)

Requirements

• Board certified MD or DO in psychiatry
• Unrestricted state license
• Strong preference for clinicians with an active DEA license
• Specialty in treating ADHD
• Must have office space with ability to see clients in Independence, MO area
• Ability to provide care to patients with a full range of diagnoses, clinical complexity, and severity levels
• Full-time resident of the United States

Advantages of joining the Lyra provider network

• 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
• Upskill your knowledgebase with access to Lyra’s large collection of free and relevant CE credited courses approved by APA, ASWB, and NBCC
• Stay in the know with monthly newsletters and robust Help Center resources just for Lyra providers
• Access to exclusive provider events with Lyra’s clinical leaders
