Mental Health Therapist - 1099 Contractor - Kentucky

About the Opportunity

Lyra’s provider network is composed of in‑person and virtual therapists, physicians, and coaches across the US. With advanced matching technology, a 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 client care) with support for the things you don’t love (like self‑promotion and scheduling). This opportunity is a great fit if you’re 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 caseloads that include a comprehensive spectrum of mental health needs, from milder presentations to more complex and severe support. Providers receive well‑matched and motivated clients, administrative and marketing support, and easy invoicing with quick payments. The ability to work with clients in person through your private or group practice is strongly preferred.
