About Headway

Headway is transforming mental healthcare, making quality therapy accessible and affordable for everyone. They build a network of over 70,000 therapists across all 50 states who accept insurance. This innovative approach streamlines administrative burdens for providers and connects over 1 million patients to the care they need. Headway handles complex tasks like credentialing and billing, empowering therapists to focus on patient well-being.

They foster a collaborative environment where every team member is encouraged to own outcomes, not just tasks. This means going where you are needed to advance the mission, prioritizing impact, and continuously seeking to improve processes and tools.
