Licensed Professional Counselor

Headway is a healthcare technology company dedicated to making mental health care more accessible and affordable by enabling licensed mental health providers to accept insurance seamlessly. Founded with the mission to bridge gaps in mental health services, Headway supports providers by simplifying the complicated insurance credentialing processes. With an expansive nationwide network, Headway connects mental health counselors to insurance plans such as Medicare Advantage and Medicaid, ultimately helping providers grow their practices while supporting a larger, more diverse patient population. Headway serves as a platform that empowers therapists to focus on delivering quality care while handling administrative burdens like credentialing, compliance, and payment processing. They offer a free-to-use platform with no commitment required, designed to make it easy for licensed professional counselors to start or expand private practices by accepting insurance.

The role of Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with Headway is ideal for counselors who are either launching a new private practice or looking to expand an existing one by taking insurance clients. This position is for licensed counselors at the Master's level or above, holding appropriate licensure such as LPC, LPCC, LCPC, LCPCS, or LPCC-S, depending on the state. Counselors must have a valid National Provider Identifier (NPI) and malpractice insurance. The position offers an attractive wage of up to $117.73 per hour, emphasizing a flexible work arrangement with independent practice management supported by Headway's infrastructure.

As an LPC working with Headway, counselors benefit from stress-free insurance credentialing, which can be completed in as little as 30 days through Headway's platform. This credentialing process covers multiple states at no cost to the provider, enabling rapid onboarding and quicker access to covered clients. Providers working with Headway also gain access to a suite of built-in compliance tools, including audit support and ongoing resources to ensure practice remains compliant with insurance requirements from day one.

The platform’s built-in electronic health record (EHR) features help counselors manage their practices effectively. Features include real-time scheduling, secure client messaging, comprehensive documentation templates, assessments, and more, all streamlined to maintain a professional and efficient workflow. Furthermore, providers enjoy dependable bi-weekly payments, guaranteeing financial stability and predictability.

Headway also offers free continuing education through Headway Academy, encouraging providers to nurture their long-term professional development by earning Continuing Education Units (CEUs) without additional cost.

For the counselors' clients, Headway enhances accessibility by making care more affordable through insurance coverage, providing instant insurance verification, and reducing disruptions in receiving mental health services. This approach aligns with Headway’s mission to ensure that mental health care is within reach for everyone who needs it, removing financial and bureaucratic barriers.

Note that at this time, Headway only supports fully licensed mental health professionals; incomplete licensure disqualifies applicants until they obtain a valid license. Overall, this role offers a unique opportunity for licensed professional counselors to expand their reach, increase earnings through top insurance rates, and seamlessly integrate insurance acceptance within their private practice operations using an innovative, no-cost platform designed to facilitate growth and compliance.
