About the Role
With all of the stressors of the past several years, we’ve seen mental health issues surge. Physicians have been integral on the front lines, but oftentimes haven’t had access to resources for care. We know that you love helping your patients, and with Lyra's Medication Management program, you can lean into a deeper level of mental health care where you can focus on treating these issues with your patient and getting them the support they need. Lyra is a re-imagined EAP, a comprehensive mental health solution, that delivers high-quality care with measurable results.
Our physicians practice in a collaborative care model, closely consulting with psychiatrists and primary care physicians to provide clients with easily-accessible, culturally-responsive, high-quality mental health care. You always have a team behind you, even while working remotely. And our technology platform makes it easy to refer patients to therapy and coaching services in tandem with your care.
