Pros

*PTO and Paid Sick Time * Lots of opportunities for CE's, both live and recorded * Health Insurance * Reasonable expectations for client contact hours (24-26/wk) * A variety of different clients from all walks of life

Cons

*They only offer one type of health insurance * No 401K matching * Not supportive of promoting therapists from within or creating a clear pathway as to how to develop skills and career in other departments within the company * very minimal raises and no cost of living adjustments * very numbers driven and the quarterly bonus is almost completely dependent on symptoms reduction for clients and maintaining a minimum number of client facing hours each week, regardless of the need or season * Your clients will typically not be part of the "worried well" crowd, they have complex needs and for many of them the short-term therapy model of 8-12 sessions is not going to meet there needs, so that will impact your income * Not prepared to service clients with severe trauma and mental health but they strongly discourage therapists from referring to community providers * The salary is not sufficient unless you qualify for every bonus opportunity each quarter - which is nearly impossible during typically slow times for most therapists like summer break, scheduled PTO for the employee, and during the holidays *The base salary is based on the cost of living in your zip code. * If the median household income is 110k in your zip, and the base is in the mid-80's, a person living alone in my zip code will fall short

Pros

Great culture. Great people. Great benefits. Good pay. Excellent work life balance. So much work to do. Lots of growth opportunity

Cons

It is busy. There is no shortage of work to do. Some managers have grown in their roles and built a solid career for themselves at Lyra. They’re great partners to work with. Other managers don’t know what they’re leading, and cause confusion for the business, constantly moving the goalposts.

Pros

Remote work, potential to make a positive impact

Cons

My experience was that the organization's stated values around employee wellbeing, inclusion, and DEIB did not consistently translate into day-to-day practice. While there was significant emphasis on culture and inclusion initiatives, I found there was often little meaningful, actionable support when employees faced legitimate challenges. The role itself was already highly demanding, but it was made significantly more difficult by unrealistic performance expectations, constant pressure to meet metrics, excessive micromanagement, and limited flexibility or autonomy. Rather than trusting employees to use their professional judgment, the environment often felt focused on surveillance and performance over sustainable, quality work. I also observed what I perceived to be inconsistent treatment of employees by senior leadership. Concerns were not always handled in a way that fostered psychological safety, and management approaches at times felt intimidating rather than supportive. This created an environment where employees could feel discouraged from speaking openly or advocating for themselves. For me, the combination of high stress, limited autonomy, and a leadership culture that did not consistently reflect the organization's stated values ultimately made the role unsustainable. I'm grateful to have moved on to an environment that better aligns with my professional values—one that emphasizes trust, respect, psychological safety, flexibility, and empowering employees to do their best work rather than managing through constant pressure.
