About the job
At Headway, we are on a mission to revolutionize mental healthcare by creating an accessible system for all. Our innovative technology enables individuals to connect with top therapists through the first software-enabled national network of providers who accept insurance.
With 1 in 4 Americans facing treatable mental health conditions, yet many providers not accepting insurance, therapy remains financially out of reach for a significant population. We are determined to change that by simplifying the process for therapists to accept insurance and expand their practices.
Founded in 2019, Headway has rapidly developed into a diverse national network of over 60,000 mental healthcare providers across all 50 states, utilizing our software to serve over 1 million patients. Backed by a Series D funding round of over $325 million from top-tier investors including a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), Accel, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures, and Health Care Service Corporation, we are poised for continued growth.
We are committed to ensuring your time with us is impactful and fulfilling. Join us and help transform mental healthcare for the better.
