We Accept Lyra Health
Freedom Within Center is proud to partner with Lyra Health, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that connects employees with high-quality mental health care. Lyra plans often include free or fully covered therapy sessions, making access to care simple and affordable.
Our mission is to provide quality care using a genuine, down-to-earth approach that incorporates compassion, humor, and authenticity. We strive to partner with our clients to help release their pain and restore their sense of freedom within.

Our Rates & Your Out-of-Pocket Costs
Lyra typically covers your sessions in full for the allotted number of visits. Once your EAP sessions end, you can continue with your same therapist either using Lyra’s Health Benefit Integration Plan (if you have this benefit), or using your own health insurance, (like Aetna or Cigna) or by switching to private pay.Questions about benefits?

5. You’ll receive confirmation of your covered sessions and how to begin.
How is my information shared?
Insurance companies/EAPs will often require a diagnosis to reimburse for services as they need to deem treatment “medically necessary.” This means we will share the diagnosis with the insurance company when we bill for services. You are always welcome to obtain that diagnosis from your therapist by asking.
Keeping Your Information Private
If you prefer to keep your information more private, you might consider paying privately for sessions instead of using your insurance benefit. This gives you more control over how your records are shared and documented. Still have questions? Give us a call!
FAQs
How many sessions do I get through Lyra?
It depends on your employer, typically 6–26 sessions (some plans allow more).
Can I extend therapy beyond my EAP benefit?
Yes! Many plans allow extensions through your health insurance. Lyra refers to this as Health Insurance Benefit Integration.
Is telehealth covered?
Yes. Telehealth is covered by many employers’ Lyra plans, and in-person sessions are available as well.
