Mental Health Therapist - 1099 Contractor - New Jersey

Lyra Clinical Associates partners with Lyra Health, a leading provider of evidence-based mental health care, serving more than 20 million people globally in partnership with employers and more than 100 million through health plan and partner relationships. The company has delivered more than 15 million sessions of mental health care, published more than 35 peer-reviewed studies, and delivered unmatched outcomes in access, clinical effectiveness, and cost efficiency.

About the role

Lyra’s provider network includes 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, this role allows you to focus on client care while receiving support for administrative tasks like scheduling and self-promotion.

This opportunity is ideal for independently licensed clinical therapists interested in providing culturally responsive, evidence-based therapy for children, adults, couples, and/or families. Clinicians with experience managing a spectrum of mental health needs—from milder presentations to complex and severe cases—are encouraged to apply. The role is well-suited for providers seeking well-matched, motivated clients, administrative and marketing support, and streamlined invoicing with quick payments. The ability to work with clients in person through your private or group practice is strongly preferred.

We are looking for clinicians who can work with clients in these locations: Pleasantville, Wildwood, and Northfield.

• Experience and commitment to providing 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 care delivery
