Headway

Headway is a mental health technology platform that connects patients, mental health providers, and insurance companies. Founded in 2019 and based in New York City, Headway aims to improve access to mental healthcare by enabling therapists to accept insurance and helping patients find affordable, in-network services. The platform offers a range of services. Patients can search for providers who accept their insurance, book appointments online, and see their out-of-pocket costs upfront. For mental health providers, Headway provides administrative support, payment processing, and scheduling tools to simplify the insurance acceptance process. This helps therapists grow their practices and reach more patients. Additionally, Headway collaborates with major insurance companies to enhance their provider networks and improve care access for members. As of the end of 2022, Headway operates in 16 states and the District of Columbia, supporting a network of 22,000 providers and facilitating nearly 1.9 million hours of mental health care.
