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.

You will be employed by Lyra Clinical Associates.

About the Role

With all of the stressors of the past several years, we’ve seen mental health issues surge. We know that you love helping your patients, and there’s a chance for you to lean into an even deeper level of care with a role in the Lyra Medication Management program.

Our physicians practice in a collaborative care model, closely consulting with psychiatrists and primary care physicians to provide clients with easily-accessible, culturally-responsive, patient-centered, quality mental health care.

This care model enables physicians to get to know the whole patient in a 90-minute initial appointment, while supporting them with referrals to therapy and coaching services through our tech platform.
