I couldn’t find a therapist that I could afford because 70% of therapists don’t accept insurance. Headway is solving this problem by building the first national network of therapists who accept insurance. Because Headway’s free software for therapists handles all the work to accept insurance, two out of three providers that you’ll find on our platform don’t accept insurance anywhere else.
