What We Do

Headway’s mission is a big one – to build a new mental health care system everyone can access. We’ve built technology that helps people find great therapists with the first software-enabled national network of providers accepting insurance. 1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition but the majority of providers don’t accept insurance making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway is building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access by making it easy for therapists to accept insurance and scale their practice. Headway was founded in 2019. Since then we’ve grown into a diverse national network of over 60000 mental healthcare providers across all 50 states who run their practice on our software and have served over 1 million patients. We’re a Series D company with over $325m in funding from a16z (Andreessen Horowitz) Accel GV (formerly Google Ventures) Spark Capital Thrive Capital Forerunner Ventures and Health Care Service Corporation.

Why Work With Us

The demand for mental health care has never been higher underscoring the need for solutions like Headway that increase accessibility to clinical care. We believe a team's strength is in its people and we cannot achieve this mission without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem.
