Mental Health Therapist - 1099 Contractor - North Dakota

About the role

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 partnerships and over 100 million through health plan and partner relationships. The company has delivered more than 15 million mental‑health sessions, published over 35 peer‑reviewed studies, and achieved outstanding outcomes in access, clinical effectiveness, and cost efficiency. Lyra members can access care within one day, and nine out of ten improve with provider support. Lyra is transforming access to life‑changing mental health care through Lyra Empower, the only fully integrated, AI‑powered platform that combines high‑quality care with technology solutions. You will be contracted by Lyra Clinical Associates.

Lyra’s provider network includes in‑person and virtual therapists, physicians, and coaches across the United States. With advanced matching technology, a supportive provider platform, and opportunities for training and clinical consultation, joining the network lets you focus on client care while Lyra handles self‑promotion and scheduling. This opportunity is ideal for independently licensed clinical therapists who want to provide culturally responsive, evidence‑based therapy to children, adults, couples, and/or families, and who have experience with a full spectrum of mental health needs—from mild to complex and severe. Lyra seeks clinicians who desire well‑matched, motivated clients, administrative and marketing support, and easy invoicing with quick payments. Working with clients in person through your private or group practice is strongly preferred, and you must be able to serve clients in Dickinson, Fargo, Grand Forks, and Minot.
