About Lyra

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 terms of access, clinical effectiveness, and cost efficiency. Lyra members have access to care in one day, and nine out of ten improve with the support of providers like you. Lyra is transforming access to life-changing mental health care through Lyra Empower, the only fully integrated, AI-powered platform combining the highest-quality care and technology solutions. You will be employed by Lyra Clinical Associates.

About the Role:
Lyra developed an innovative video therapy program called Lyra Care Therapy: Blending live video sessions with between-session digital psychoeducation and customizable skill building tools. The Lyra Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program capitalizes on Lyra Care Therapy to supplement standard individual DBT and DBT skills groups with novel between-session DBT-relevant digital activities—activities that help promote skill generalization and integration into your clients’ daily lives. Lyra DBT clients also have 24/7 access to a team of licensed clinicians who have been trained in DBT skills coaching for around the clock support.

As a Lyra DBT Therapist, you’ll provide individual DBT and DBT skills groups via live video to adolescent clients. You’ll also assign DBT-relevant digital lessons, videos, and assessments to your clients to enhance learnings and monitor outcomes between sessions. Lyra's clients come from a multitude of backgrounds and experiences, and have varying needs and abilities. We strive to continue to meet their unique needs by delivering culturally responsive care—an approach that accounts for the impact of cultural backgrounds on each person’s care experience.

Our therapists enjoy connecting with their colleagues who share a passion for providing evidence-based care. You’ll attend weekly consultation team meetings as well as one-on-one consultation meetings with an expert DBT team lead, co-lead DBT skills groups with other DBT providers, and attend robust trainings to enhance your clinical skills. You always have a team behind you if a crisis comes up. You’re never alone, even while working remotely in the US.

This role is a great fit if you’re a MA licensed DBT clinician who enjoys working with complex clients in a supportive, collaborative, and feedback rich environment. You may also find this role rewarding if:

- You are passionate about helping others improve their lives through skills-based interventions and work to understand your clients through a lens of compassion and curiosity.

- You enjoy evidence-based practice, continual learning, and professional improvement.

- You prefer to work within a collaborative team environment.

- You are accountable for your own outcomes and performance, and are willing to embrace challenges that others may shy away from.

Requirements

• Unrestricted, active Massachusetts license (able to work independently without supervision from a licensed supervisor) without current or pending disciplinary action

• Formal didactic training in DBT required (e.g., in-house training with consultation team, tape review, 1:1 supervision; Behavioral Tech; DBT Foundational Training; DBT Intensive Training)

• One year minimum experience providing comprehensive DBT to adolescents which includes: individual DBT therapy with clients through Stage 1 of treatment, facilitating skills groups utilizing Linehan materials, participation on a consultation team, skills coaching

• DBT-LBC certification preferred but not required

• Experience, comfort, and passion working with clients who present with high risk behaviors, including suicidal ideation and/or self-injury

• Willingness to obtain cross-licensing in additional states as needed to support program growth

• Experience providing telehealth therapy services in a virtual environment (video and teletherapy) preferred but not required

• Computer and live video tools literacy (e.g., Zoom, Google Meets, DoxyMe, Skype, etc.)
