Mental Health Therapist - 1099 Contractor - Washington

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 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 achieved unmatched outcomes in access, clinical effectiveness, and cost efficiency. Lyra members access care in one day, and nine out of ten improve with provider support. Lyra transforms access to life-changing mental health care through Lyra Empower, the only fully integrated, AI-powered platform combining highest-quality care and technology solutions. You will be contracted by Lyra Clinical Associates.

Lyra’s provider network comprises 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, network participation lets you focus on client care with support for administrative tasks like self-promotion and scheduling. This opportunity suits independently licensed clinical therapists interested in providing culturally responsive, evidence-based therapy for children, adults, couples, and/or families. Clinicians with experience across a comprehensive spectrum of mental health needs — from milder presentations to more complex and severe support — are encouraged to apply. The role offers 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. We are looking for clinicians able to work with clients in these Washington locations: Spokane, Redmond, Puyallup, Pullman, Olympia, Moses Lake, Lake Stevens, Lacey, Issaquah, Bremerton, Bonney Lake, Bellingham, Tacoma, Spanaway, West Richland, and Kennewick.
