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).

As a contract provider, you’ll provide evidence-based treatment via intake appointments and regular follow-up appointments. You'll conduct psychiatric evaluations and provide medication management. Lyra makes it easy to refer patients to 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.

We’re currently prioritizing hiring in Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

  • Full-time resident of the United States
  • Here are some of the 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
