As a mental health care technology company, Headway connects therapists, counselors, and other licensed providers with a broad insurance network, enabling them to offer affordable care to more clients. The company’s mission centers on increasing access to mental health services by removing common barriers for both providers and patients, such as the administrative complexities involved with insurance billing and credentialing. This platform is designed to streamline the insurance onboarding process so that providers can focus on delivering quality mental health care instead of managing logistical hurdles. With over 50,000 providers already benefiting from Headway’s services, the company has established itself as a trusted partner in the behavioral health space, playing a crucial role in expanding insurance participation among therapists nationwide.

The Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) role at Headway comes with an excellent wage of up to $110.17 per hour and represents a fantastic opportunity for a fully licensed mental health counselor to grow a private practice or start one with insurance acceptance capabilities. This position is ideal for practitioners holding Master’s level or higher credentials, including LPC, LPCC, LCPC, LCPCS, or LPCC-S licensures, depending on the state in which they are licensed. Candidates must also have a valid National Provider Identifier (NPI) number and malpractice insurance, emphasizing the importance of being fully credentialed and prepared to accept insurance clients. The core of the role involves leveraging Headway’s free-to-use platform to become credentialed efficiently with multiple insurance plans, including Medicare Advantage and Medicaid, allowing providers to expand their client base faster.

This job enhances not only a counselor’s professional income through access to higher insurance reimbursement rates but also improves their practice's financial stability with reliable bi-weekly payments. The platform offers built-in compliance tools, such as audit support and ongoing resources, to help counselors stay abreast of regulatory requirements. Providers also benefit from Headway’s suite of practice management features within the electronic health record (EHR) system, including real-time scheduling, secure client messaging, comprehensive documentation templates, and clinical assessments. Furthermore, Headway supports the continual professional development of LPCs by providing free continuing education courses through Headway Academy, helping counselors fulfill continuing education unit (CEU) requirements while expanding their expertise.

Overall, the Licensed Professional Counselor position through Headway is tailored for professionals eager to scale their practices by bridging the gap between mental health care and insurance accessibility. By joining Headway’s network, counselors not only improve their earnings and administrative ease but also contribute to a broader societal impact by making mental health services more accessible to those who might otherwise be unable to afford care. The platform’s efficiency and support allow counselors to focus on their clinical work while enjoying the benefits of an expanded insurance network and enhanced practice management resources.
