Headway’s mission is to build a new mental health care system everyone can access. We’ve built technology that helps people find great therapists with the first software-enabled national network of providers accepting insurance. 1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but the majority of providers don’t accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway is building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access by making it easy for therapists to accept insurance and scale their practice. Headway was founded in 2019 and has grown into a national network of over 45,000 mental healthcare providers. We are a Series D company with funding from a16z, Accel, GV, Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures, and Health Care Service Corporation.
