Lyra Health is a comprehensive mental health care benefit for employers, combining technology and a curated network of providers to deliver personalized therapy, coaching, and medication management to workforces.

Try it out

Lyra Health provides workforce mental health benefits by partnering with employers to offer their employees access to a vetted network of therapists, coaches, and psychiatrists. The platform uses a proprietary matching technology, based on an initial assessment, to connect individuals with the most appropriate provider for their needs, including therapy, coaching, or medication management. It emphasizes evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and aims to deliver measurable clinical outcomes for various conditions. Unlike many traditional Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), Lyra focuses on high-quality, effective care with minimal wait times, removing the friction of finding available providers. This comprehensive, technology-driven approach provides a confidential and accessible mental health solution designed to improve employee well-being and productivity.
