We’re building a new mental healthcare system. Tens of millions of Americans seek mental health care every day, but the vast majority never get the care they need. Headway is solving this, and we’re doing it all through software.
One in four Americans have a treatable mental health condition, but most don’t get care. The number one reason is price.
70% of therapists don’t accept insurance because of the administrative burden. This means individuals have to pay out of pocket prices they can’t afford.
How we’re fixing it
Headway is building the first asset-free national network of therapists who accept insurance. This helps therapists build their practices while helping individuals find great care they can afford.
Our core values bring Headway’s mission to life
- Think future first: We think big, even when the task feels small. We seek opportunities to reimagine, and take time to build for the future.
- Act like a Headway owner: We all pitch in with ideas to improve the products we build and the ways we operate, even when they’re outside of our roles. We collaborate to make Headway as a whole the best it can be.
- The first time is always handmade: We believe that building amazing products means starting by doing things that don’t scale. We roll up our sleeves, get creative, and engage deeply with the people we are building for.
- Be relationship-obsessed: We care deeply about our relationships with those who make Headway what it is: our providers, patients, payers, and each other.
- Invest in yourself to invest in our mission: We take the time to invest in our own health and wellness, and support each other in doing so. It’s how we bring our best selves to work, and it’s essential to our mission.
We are dedicated to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive company
People are their happiest, healthiest, and best selves when they know their team values them for who they are. At Headway, we strive to build a team with a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences not just because it is a business imperative, but because it is the right thing to do.
