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.
