Job Description
Headway is building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access. We make it easy for people to find quality in-network mental health care by removing historic barriers faced by mental health providers, payers, and patients.
1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but the vast majority do not get the care they need. The primary reason is cost: the majority of therapists do not accept insurance, meaning paying for therapy is prohibitively expensive for prospective patients. This is where we got our start – Headway has built the first software-enabled network of therapists who accept health insurance, making it easy for therapists to grow their practices, and possible for patients to find quality care they can afford.
We launched in April of 2019 and are now powering 300,000+ appointments per month. To scale our vision, we’ve raised over $100 million in funding from a16z, Thrive, Accel, and Google Ventures.

Are you a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) in New York looking to grow or launch a private practice, or simply take on a few new patients?
At Headway, we're currently supporting over 12,000 mental health clinicians across the United States in our mission to rewire the mental healthcare system for access and affordability by equipping mental health professionals with the tools and resources they need to run their practices.

Build and run your practice:

- Maintain a flexible schedule by deciding how many patients you see through Headway, so that you can set the hours that fit your personal and professional schedules.
- Accept insurance hassle-free -- we’ll credential you with the nation’s largest networks and handle all the billing and admin paperwork involved.
- Use Headway’s EHR software to manage your practice, but if using your own works better, that’s fine too!
- Receive consistent, guaranteed payment every two weeks -- we also offer no show protection!
Support your patients:
-
- Our team is also dedicated to helping your patients navigate their care through Headway.
- We provide live, customized support to clinicians and patients in order to streamline the process of both seeking and providing care.

And we do this all for free! Headways is a free and flexible service, so you can use Headway full-time or part-time, and see patients in-person or remotely via telehealth while working from home.

Headway is building a new mental healthcare system, rewired for access and affordability.
We all know someone that has struggled with mental health - 1 in 4 people have a treatable mental health condition - but the overwhelming majority don’t get the care they need. The primary reason is cost - eighty percent of therapists don’t accept insurance, meaning paying for therapy is usually very, very expensive.
Headway is building the first national, virtual network of therapists who accept insurance, helping providers to expand their practices, and individuals to finally find a therapist they can afford. And we’re doing it all through software.
We launched in April of 2019 and are already powering thousands of therapy appointments every single day. To scale our mission, we’ve raised funding from the world’s preeminent VCs (backers of Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Uber, Oscar) as well as the nation’s most innovative healthcare entrepreneurs (founders of One Medical, Flatiron Health, and Clover Health).
We believe a team's strength is in its people. Headway is solving a national problem of affordability, and we know this cannot be achieved without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem - across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and experience.
