Connects patients with affordable mental health services

About Headway

Headway simplifies the process of finding and paying for mental health therapy. It operates in the mental health market, addressing the challenge that many Americans face in accessing care due to high costs and complicated insurance processes. For individuals, Headway provides a platform where they can easily search for therapists and psychiatrists who accept their insurance, allowing them to find the right mental health care without incurring out-of-pocket expenses. For mental health care providers, Headway reduces the administrative workload associated with accepting insurance, enabling them to focus more on patient care. The company connects patients with providers while ensuring effective use of insurance, and it generates revenue by partnering with health plans and providers. Headway's goal is to create a more accessible and affordable mental healthcare system.
