About the Opportunity

Lyra’s contract provider network is composed of in-person and virtual therapists, physicians, psychiatrists, and coaches across the US. With our advanced matching technology, supportive provider platform, and opportunities for training and clinical consultation, being part of our contract 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).

We are looking for contract nurse practitioners (NPs) or certified physician assistants (PA-C) who are passionate about whole-person, whole family mental health care and working within a connected network to provide patients with easily accessible, culturally responsive, high-quality mental health care. 

As a contract provider, you’ll provide evidence-based treatment via intake appointments and regular follow-up appointments for children (ages 0-17) and adults. 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.

• Practice comprehensive mental health medication management via an intake appointment and regular follow-up appointments
• Conduct mental health risk assessments, psychiatric medication evaluations, and longitudinal medication treatment
• Construct patient-centered treatment plans, document treatment recommendations, message patients, and prescribe and manage psychiatric medications 
• Experience and commitment to providing safe, evidence-based medication treatment that follows clinical best practice guidelines (e.g., measurement based care, patient-centered care, paying close attention, medication minimizing risks, and maximizing benefits)
• Experience and enthusiasm for working with minors (ages 0-17) in addition to adults

Requirements:

• Graduate from an accredited (CCNE) Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) program; OR graduate from an accredited PA program (ARC-PA) with certification through PANCE with preference for Certificate of Added Qualifications in psychiatry, post-graduate fellowship in psychiatry, or other academic psychiatry certificate program completion, including a Doctor of Medical Science with Psychiatry concentration

• Unrestricted state license without current, past, or pending disciplinary action

• A minimum of 2 years in practice

• Strong preference for NPs and PA-Cs with an active DEA license

• Preference for NPs and PA-Cs with additional certification or clinical experience with minors (ages 0-17)

• Must have office space with ability to see clients in Conway, SC

• Ability to provide care to patients with a full range of diagnoses, clinical complexity, and severity levels, with a preference for providers who offer in-person options 

• Full-time resident of the United States

Here are some of the advantages of joining the Lyra contract 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
