About Lyra

Lyra Health is the leading provider of mental health solutions for employers supporting more than 20 million people globally. The company has published more than 20 peer‑reviewed studies and delivered unmatched outcomes in access, clinical effectiveness, and cost efficiency. Extensive research confirms Lyra’s transformative care model helps people recover twice as fast and produces 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—client care—while we handle the things you don’t love, such as self‑promotion and scheduling.

This opportunity is a great fit if you are an independently licensed clinical therapist interested in providing culturally responsive, evidence‑based therapy for children, adults, couples, and/or families. We encourage clinicians who have experience with a comprehensive spectrum of mental‑health needs, from milder presentations to more complex and severe cases. We are looking for clinicians who can work with clients in Iowa City, Des Moines, Davenport, West Des Moines, and Dubuque and who prefer to deliver care in person through their private or group practice.

Requirements

Master’s or doctoral degree from a clinical track (e.g., MSW, MFT, MC, MMHC, PhD, PsyD)

Unrestricted LCSW, LMFT, LPC, PsyD, PhD, or equivalent license (able to work independently, without supervision from a licensed supervisor) and no current, past, or pending disciplinary action

Experience and commitment to 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 in‑person delivery

Office space with the ability to see clients in the South Dakota area

Experience managing risk and responding to clinical crises, as needed

Full‑time resident of the United States
