Building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access.
About us
Headway is building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access making it easy for therapists to accept insurance and scale their practice. 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. Headway was founded in 2019 and are now powering 600,000+ appointments per month. To scale its vision, Headway has raised over $325 million in funding from a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), Thrive, Accel, and GV (formerly Google Ventures), Spark Capital, Forerunner Ventures and Health Care Service Corporation. Join us, and make an impact 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 - across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, national origin, religion, family status, disability, military status, and experience. Headway employees work remotely across the US, with the option to work from our NYC (HQ) or SF offices. Headway is committed to the full inclusion of all qualified individuals. As part of this commitment, Headway will ensure that persons with disabilities are provided with reasonable accommodations. If reasonable accommodation is needed to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and/or to receive other benefits and privileges of employment, please contact talent@findheadway.com.

We’re proud to announce our expansion to Medicare Advantage and Medicaid, leveraging our recent $100 million in Series D funding. This marks a key step toward realizing our mission to build a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access. One in four people with Medicare and one in three people with Medicaid are living with a mental health condition. Yet, the vast majority of them can’t get care because it can be difficult for clinicians to accept patients from these plans. We’re here to change that.

As #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth comes to a close, our Founder & CEO Andrew Adams penned some thoughts on how to solve the system’s challenges for patients like him – by putting providers at the center. Read Andrew’s piece below:
Breaking down affordability and accessibility barriers in mental health care is personal to me. I was once a patient who couldn’t find in-network care, like the 67% of Americans who have a diagnosed condition but aren’t able to access treatment. This struggle highlighted a crucial truth: the key to helping patients is to prioritize and empower mental health providers. As we close out Mental Health Awareness Month and look to the future, it’s more important than ever to recognize providers as the center of the solution. Read my thoughts on how we can usher in equitable, accessible, and effective mental health care for everyone by investing in providers:
