A high-performing workforce starts with mental health. Lyra is your partner in delivering evidence-based mental health care that transforms lives and drives business results.

Worldwide, 970 million people are living with mental health issues. The biggest hurdle isn’t treatment—it’s access. Lyra’s co-founder and CEO, David Ebersman, left his job as Meta’s chief financial officer in 2014 to tackle the problem by making it easier to find and get treatment and using technology to make it smarter, more personalized, and more effective.

Since then, more than 300 leading companies have partnered to offer Lyra’s mental health benefits to their employees, including Meta, Pinterest, and Starbucks, giving more than 13 million people access to life-changing care.

Dedicated behavioral health clinician(s) available in consistent, preestablished blocks of time for initial evaluations, medication management, therapy, collaborative care and doc-to-doc consultation.

Who we are 

Array Behavioral Care is a virtual psychiatry and therapy practice that was founded by clinicians more than 23 years ago. We employ and closely manage a large team of licensed psychiatrists, therapists, and behavioral health specialists who use evidence-based assessment tools and treatment protocols to provide high-quality, standardized care. Our clinicians are supported by administrative and technical teams and overseen by engaged, experienced clinical leaders ensuring they deliver care that is effective, safe, and clinically appropriate. 

What we’re not 

We are not a technology platform, a network of 1099 contracted providers, or an Uber-like model where clinicians work gigs. We are not a staffing company or a locums tenens group, and our utility extends beyond simple clinician capacity. The impact of our programs is tangible, and we can predict with confidence what metrics will be improved. 

How we got here 

Array was born out of a bricks-and-mortar behavioral health practice in southern New Jersey that still exists today. In 1999, Founder and current Executive Chief Medical Officer, Dr. James R. Varrell, provided the nation’s first commitment via telepsychiatry. After that first encounter, we started using telehealth to deliver psychiatry coverage to local hospitals. Our telepsychiatry service offerings quickly grew into new care settings and new states. While we now have a national scope, we’re still a closely managed practice and the only one delivering virtual behavioral health services across the entire continuum of care. 

With Lyra 88% of members improve or recover. Lyra uses validated clinical measures, such as the PHQ-9 and the GAD-7, to assess symptom improvement for anxiety, depression, and other common mental health issues. Reliable clinical change is a 6-point difference on the PHQ-9 and a 4-point change on the GAD-7.

At Lyra, we use “reliable clinical improvement” to measure change, which means that an individual in treatment has improved enough on a measure of clinical symptoms that we don’t believe the change can be accounted for by normal variation in scores or measurement error.
