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.

About the Opportunity

*For this opportunity, we are looking for a Licensed Therapist that provides care to children and/or adolescents. We are also looking for a provider that can provide in–person care.

Lyra’s provider network is composed of in-person and virtual therapists, physicians, and coaches across the US.

This opportunity is a great fit if you’re an independently licensed clinical therapist interested in providing culturally responsive, evidence-based therapy for children, adults, couples, and/or families.

We encourage clinicians to apply who have experience with caseloads that include a comprehensive spectrum of mental health needs, from milder presentations to more complex and severe support.

This opportunity is a great fit for providers seeking well-matched and motivated clients, administrative and marketing support, and easy invoicing with quick payments. The ability to work with clients in person through your private or group practice is strongly preferred.

We are looking for clinicians who are able to work with clients in these locations: Charlotte, NC

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)

Ability to provide care to children, adults, couples, and/or families with a strong preference for virtual care delivery
