Headway is building a new mental healthcare system, rewired for access and affordability.
Headway’s mission is a big one – 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. Since then, we’ve grown into a diverse, national network of over 60,000 mental healthcare providers across all 50 states who run their practice on our software and have served over 1 million patients. We’re a Series D company with over $325m in funding from a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), Accel, GV (formerly Google Ventures), Spark Capital, Thrive Capital, Forerunner Ventures and Health Care Service Corporation.

I'm working on a project with our Growth and Operations teams, and it's been refreshing to hear each team's priorities/concerns when it comes to the product. It's important for engineers to understand how the things they build affect larger systems! So I really value working with teammates who speak to patients and healthcare providers every day.

As our company has grown and evolved, so have the ways in which we need to protect the sensitive data that flows through our applications. I’ve recently moved to our Privacy Platforms team to help lead the charge around a revised Authentication and Authorization framework to both meet the needs of our users today and be extensible enough to satisfy
