Headway
Connects patients with in-network therapists
1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but most providers don't accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway’s mission is to fix this by building a new mental healthcare system everyone can access. We started by solving the biggest barrier to care: insurance. The admin work - credentialing, claims, payment reconciliation - is a nightmare. We've automated that.
But we're going further. Over 90,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 2.6 million patients. We are building the best tools for therapists to run their entire practice, reimagining the experience of finding a therapist, and investing in the platform foundations to enable this at scale, and building much of it with AI. We aren't just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens.
We're a Series D company with $325M+ in funding (a16z, Accel, Spark Capital, etc.), looking for exceptional people to help us achieve this mission. We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.

Headway builds a platform that makes mental healthcare easier to access and afford. For individuals, it helps users find therapists and psychiatrists who accept their insurance, letting them filter by preferences and compare thousands of providers so out-of-pocket costs are lower. For providers, it reduces administrative work related to insurance, enabling in-network care without the bureaucratic hassle. The product connects patients and providers through insurance-enabled matching and handles the related paperwork and billing so care can be more affordable and straightforward. Unlike networks that only list providers, Headway actively streamlines both sides of the process by coordinating with health plans and practices to maximize in-network care. The goal is to create a system where finding, paying for, and receiving therapy is simple, affordable, and accessible for more people.
