Job Description

Headway is a leading mental health platform dedicated to connecting licensed therapists with clients in need of accessible and affordable care. As a company, Headway focuses on revolutionizing the way therapists manage their private practices by enabling them to accept insurance easily, thus increasing their reach and impact. The platform is designed to streamline administrative burdens often associated with insurance credentialing and claims processing, allowing therapists to focus on what they do best - providing exceptional care. Recognized for its comprehensive support system, Headway has empowered over 50,000 providers to expand their practices and serve more clients efficiently. By partnering with Headway, therapists gain access to a nationwide insurance network including top plans such as Medicare Advantage and Medicaid, ensuring broader client accessibility and financial stability through dependable bi-weekly payments.

The role of a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) within Headway is pivotal. This position caters to fully licensed therapists at the Master's level or above who hold LMFT, LMFTS, or LCMFT credentials, along with a valid NPI number and malpractice insurance. Headway offers a unique opportunity for therapists looking to launch or grow their private practice. The platform supports therapists in starting to accept insurance without the usual hurdles of credentialing and billing, making it easier to grow their client base quickly. Therapists benefit from free credentialing across multiple states typically within 30 days, reducing the lag time between practice initiation and seeing covered clients. Additionally, Headway ensures compliance through audit support and continuous resources, enhancing the therapist's confidence in managing their practice legally and ethically.

Therapists using Headway enjoy built-in Electronic Health Record (EHR) features that simplify practice management. These features include real-time scheduling, secure client messaging, documentation templates, built-in assessments, and more, all housed within one platform. Headway also offers free continuing education through its Headway Academy, supporting therapists in their long-term professional development and helping them earn necessary Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Beyond operational support, Headway emphasizes increased access to mental health care for clients, making therapy affordable through insurance use and providing clients with instant insurance verification to reduce care disruptions.

This role offers an hourly wage of up to $121.74, reflecting the high value placed on licensed therapists’ expertise and the platform's commitment to enhancing their earnings and professional growth. Employment through Headway is primarily geared towards independent contracting, fitting flexible schedules and supporting therapists in balancing meaningful work with personal career goals. It is important to note that Headway requires therapists to hold full licensure, and those not yet fully licensed are encouraged to reapply once their credentials are complete.

Overall, the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist position at Headway is ideal for therapists seeking a technology-driven, supportive environment that facilitates practice growth, financial gain, and enhanced client accessibility. The platform’s seamless integration of insurance acceptance and practice management tools sets it apart as a leader in the mental health private practice space, making it an excellent choice for therapists committed to making a significant difference in their clients’ lives while advancing their own careers.
