1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but most
providers don't accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most
people. **Headway’s mission is to fix this by building a new mental healthcare
system everyone can access.** We started by solving the biggest barrier to
care: insurance. The admin work - credentialing, claims, payment
reconciliation - is a nightmare. We've automated that.

But we're going further. Over 70,000 providers across all 50 states run their
