“I started using Headway’s AI and will never go back. I thought it would be frightening to find the time to learn something new, but it has made my notes so much easier in just one session.”
Carol Triola, LPC, Texas
“Without Headway, I would not have been able to succeed in my private practice. Now they’re making it even easier. The autonomy and confidence that Headway’s EHR has given me is invaluable — plus, it’s completely free.”
Patrick Faircloth, LPC, Texas
"I used to dread taking notes at the end of the day, especially after eight hours of seeing clients. Now, I feel like I have AI as a team player to get this done. I can't believe I'm saying this but it actually makes my notes fun."
Katherine Snedaker, LCSW, California
Our EHR goes beyond billing to help therapists manage an efficient practice while taking insurance with confidence
Frequently asked questions
1. Is the Headway EHR really free?
Yes. All features are included — no subscriptions, tiers, or surprise fees. Curious how we keep it that way? Here’s how Headway makes money.
2. Do I have to sign up for Headway to use the EHR?
Yes. The Headway EHR is not a separate offering. Rather, it is built into our existing platform, giving you full access to everything we have to offer — from expedited credentialing to biweekly payments. This allows you to seamlessly manage your entire practice from one place. Signing up for Headway is free and there is no cost to use our EHR. While joining Headway is required to use our EHR, using the EHR is not a requirement to stay in our network.
3. How secure is AI-assisted documentation?
Our AI-assisted progress notes tool is fully HIPAA-compliant and ensures that all protected health information (PHI) stays safe
4. Does the Headway EHR have e-prescribe functionality?
While we don’t currently offer e-prescribe functionality, we will be introducing it soon as part of a larger effort to expand our EHR for psychiatric care providers. Keep an eye out for more updates to come as we roll out this exciting new integration.
5. Can I export my data if I leave?
Yes. You can export your data at any time.
6. Can I use Headway part-time or alongside another EHR?
Yes. Many providers use Headway part-time or in addition to their private pay or group practice. There’s no minimum caseload, and you can use whichever tools fit your workflow.
7. What if I already use another EHR?
You can join Headway while continuing to use your existing EHR. Headway’s flexible platform makes it easy to find — or keep — the tools you want. If and when you decide to switch to Headway’s EHR, you can easily move your practice over in just a few steps. And if you need a hand, we can help you with client info, notes, and more.
