We strive to continue to meet their unique needs by delivering culturally-responsive care—an approach that is mindful of the impact of cultural background on each person’s care experience.

Responsibilities:

  • Practice comprehensive mental health medication management via a 60-minute intake appointment and regular follow-up appointments
  • Conduct mental health risk assessments, psychiatric medication evaluations, and longitudinal medication treatment
  • Construct patient-centered treatment plans, document treatment recommendations, message patients, and prescribe and manage psychiatric medications

    • Here are some of the advantages of joining the Lyra provider network:

  • Set your own schedule without a minimum hours requirement 
  • Focus less on the administrative burden of billing with Lyra’s paperless billing and quick payment turnaround 
  • Access to a custom-built calendar for new patients to connect seamlessly
