Headway | 98,947 followers on LinkedIn. Building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access.  | 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.

Today, I’m humbled to share that we’ve reached a profound milestone: Headway and the providers on our platform have served 1 million unique patients. This would not be possible without the providers who choose to accept insurance and deliver care every day – and all of the folks at Headway enabling them. I’ve put together some words about this milestone and what it means for me and the team at Headway:

Five years ago, Headway set out to make affordable, accessible therapy the norm. Today, we can proudly say that – in partnership with the providers on our platform – we’ve powered appointments covered by insurance for more than 1 million patients across the country. To the providers who delivered care to reach this milestone: thank you. Your commitment to uplifting the industry and delivering care to those who need it has changed the lives of more than 1 million people. And that’s just the beginning. As we build a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access, we'll help bring effective mental health care to millions of people across the country.

When it comes to her role as a business partner, Susan sees her work as key to trust-building. "[We need to be] reframing the work from managing risk to earning the trust of our customers and partners," she said. Headway's Security & Privacy team is dedicated to building and maintaining a secure environment that providers and patients know they can rely on.

National Quality Forum (NQF)

Unlocking access to mental health care is important — but so is ensuring that it's the right care. At the Behavioral Health Tech conference this week, Headway executive Olivia Millard Davis joined a panel of industry experts to discuss how to take access a step further — to get the right patients to the right care at the right time. Thank you to Liz Freedman , Frank Webster and Hossam M. for joining us to speak on this topic, and to Kacie Kelly for facilitating the conversation.

“As clinicians in behavioral health, we understand that we can only help our patients to the degree that we understand what’s happening for them,” Jeff Gould, MD , senior medical director and head of Headway’s clinical team, told Behavioral Health Business. “We’re trying to move from a symptom-focused assessment tool to one that, in one tool, can assess functional abilities as well.” Thank you to Morgan Gonzales at Behavioral Health Business for covering our partnership with the National Quality Forum (NQF) ! https://lnkd.in/e_nGd46Q

At Headway, we’re focused on empowering clinicians and their patients to better understand the effectiveness of care.

We had an incredible time at HLTH USA last week! Headway Founder & CEO Andrew Adams and Thrive Capital Partner Kareem Zaki took to the stage to discuss how best to build and leverage the founder/investor relationship. During the conversation, Andrew Adams shared why he founded Headway after struggling to find a therapist who accepted his insurance — and how that has led to our vision for the future of mental health care.
