Job Description

Headway is a leading mental health platform dedicated to empowering licensed professional counselors to launch or expand their private practices effortlessly. By simplifying the process of accepting insurance, Headway enables counselors to increase their earnings with higher rates and start accepting covered clients sooner, all on a free-to-use platform without any commitment required. Established with a mission to make mental health services more accessible, Headway has already helped over 50,000 providers grow their practices and reach countless individuals in need of care. The company understands the challenges counselors face when dealing with insurance companies and provides comprehensive support to make insurance credentialing and reimbursement seamless and stress-free. As a platform, Headway offers built-in compliance features, expansive insurance coverage options including Medicare Advantage and Medicaid, dependable bi-weekly payments, and advanced electronic health record (EHR) tools to support efficient practice management.

This Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) role at Headway is tailored for mental health professionals who hold a master’s level or higher licensure such as LPC, LPCC, LCPC, LCPCS, or LPCC-S, recognized state by state. Candidates must possess a valid National Provider Identifier (NPI) number and malpractice insurance, ensuring readiness either to launch a new private practice or to grow an existing one by accepting insurance. The role offers an attractive wage of up to $120 per hour, reflecting Headway’s commitment to supporting therapists in maximizing their income and professional growth. By joining the Headway network, LPCs gain access to a nationwide insurance network that facilitates higher reimbursement rates and a stable income through predictable, bi-weekly payments.

In addition to financial benefits, Headway provides built-in EHR features to streamline scheduling, secure client communications, and simplify the documentation process with templates and built-in assessments. Continuous learning is encouraged through free continuing education opportunities via Headway Academy, helping counselors meet professional development goals while enhancing their clinical skills. The platform’s seamless credentialing process allows counselors to become in-network with multiple insurance plans in as little as 30 days, boosting client access and ensuring compliance with audit support and resources. Headway is committed to removing barriers for providers and clients alike, increasing accessibility to mental health care through insurance coverage, instant insurance verification for clients, and the support needed for providers to focus on what they do best – delivering quality care.
