My therapist is the best I've ever had. Been in and out of therapy my whole life so that says something lol.

Lyra will give you profiles of the therapists, and you can scroll through. I went with the one who felt right. Don't be afraid to switch your therapist if needed.

Edit: they won't, or shouldn't, force you to talk. It's what you want to deal with that they're there to help you with.

I got CBT therapy through Lyra which is different than talk therapy. They had lots of counselors to choose from in person, online, different specialities. You can change providers if you want to. I had an amazing experience.

I’ve been utilizing Lyra for about a year now. It was insanely easy to set up - you fill out some information and the location you’re looking for and some preferences on what you’re looking for in your therapy.

From there you can see bios, qualifications, and other info about a variety of therapists. They’ll say wherever they offer for services, in person or online, etc. Once you choose one, it comes up with a simple email that’s already curated for you and you simply have to send it.

I had to connect a card to my “account” with my therapist but nothing has ever been charged. Lyra has taken care of every appointment. We are limited to one a week, max twenty a year, and it renews at the fiscal year (Oct 1). You can continue to use Lyra for 18 months after you quit, too.

My therapist is incredible. She is not associated with Starbucks, she just takes Lyra as a provider (just like any therapist chooses what providers they work with). If I wasn’t happy with her, I’d be able to go back to the website and search again for a new therapist.

When I started therapy I was going every week for the first two/three months. I switched to every other, then once a month. I honestly think therapy saved my life. I was in a very dark place and in a toxic relationship and I am in a much better place now.

If you have specific questions I’m happy to help answer them.

I did Lyra for about 12 ish sessions, it was my first time ever in therapy, and my therapist was amazing!!! He was very easy to talk to and gave me super helpful tips for lessening anxiety and stabilizing emotions. Its the same therapist every session (but you could probably switch if desired) and it’s oriented on basically whatever you’re needing to talk about. Hope this helps!! :)

I think Lyra is amazing!! You get to pick your counselor and get up to 20 sessions a year I believe. You can do in person or virtual.
