Mental Health Therapist - 1099 Contractor - Kentucky

Lyra Clinical Associates partners with Lyra Health, a leading provider of evidence‑based mental health care serving more than 20 million people globally through employer and health‑plan relationships. The company has delivered over 15 million mental‑health sessions, published more than 35 peer‑reviewed studies, and achieved strong outcomes in access, clinical effectiveness, and cost efficiency. Lyra members can access care in one day, and nine out of ten improve with the support of providers.

About the Opportunity

Lyra’s provider network includes in‑person and virtual therapists, physicians, and coaches across the United States. Advanced matching technology, a supportive provider platform, and opportunities for training and clinical consultation enable clinicians to focus on client care while receiving assistance with administrative tasks such as self‑promotion and scheduling. This contract position is ideal for independently licensed clinical therapists who provide culturally responsive, evidence‑based therapy for children, adults, couples, and/or families. Candidates with experience handling a broad spectrum of mental‑health needs—from milder presentations to complex, severe cases—are encouraged to apply. Providers who prefer well‑matched, motivated clients, administrative and marketing support, and streamlined invoicing with quick payments will find the role a strong fit. In‑person care delivery through a private or group practice is strongly preferred. We are seeking providers in Columbia, Kentucky.
