Sample interview questionsHow do you develop an initial treatment plan for a new client?I begin with a thorough biopsychosocial assessment, clarify the client's goals and presenting concerns, assess safety and strengths, and select evidence-informed interventions that fit their needs. I document measurable goals, review the plan collaboratively, and update it as progress and circumstances change.

How do you maintain ethical and effective care in a telehealth setting?

I confirm the client's identity, location, privacy, emergency contacts, and informed consent at the outset. I use secure platforms, follow applicable licensure and privacy requirements, establish a crisis plan, and adapt my communication to maintain engagement and therapeutic rapport remotely.

Describe how you manage documentation and insurance-related requirements without compromising client care.

I use consistent workflows for timely progress notes, treatment plans, and required assessments while keeping documentation clinically meaningful and concise. I protect confidentiality, verify accuracy before submission, and use administrative tools to reduce repetitive work so that client care remains the priority.

How would you respond if a client presented with elevated safety concerns?

I would conduct a structured, compassionate risk assessment addressing ideation, intent, plan, means, protective factors, and immediate supports. Based on the level of risk, I would collaborate on a safety plan, involve emergency resources or supports when clinically and legally appropriate, document my actions, and arrange close follow-up.

What approach would you take to building and sustaining a private-practice caseload?

I would define the populations and concerns I am best equipped to serve, maintain a clear and ethical professional profile, and provide a reliable intake experience. I would monitor referral patterns and retention, communicate expectations clearly, and use available practice and marketing resources while maintaining appropriate clinical boundaries.

Opportunity details

## About this role.

1 in 4 people in the US have a treatable mental health condition, but most providers don’t accept insurance, making therapy too expensive for most people. Headway’s mission is to fix this by building a new mental healthcare system everyone can access. We started by solving the biggest barrier to care: insurance. The admin work – credentialing, claims, payment reconciliation – is a nightmare. We’ve automated that.

But we’re going further. Over 75,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 1 million patients. We are building the best tools for therapists to run their entire practice, reimagining the experience of finding a therapist, and investing in the platform foundations to enable this at scale. We aren’t just a billing layer; we are becoming the platform where care actually happens.

We’re a Series D company with $325M+ in funding (a16z, Accel, Spark Capital, etc.), looking for exceptional people to help us achieve this mission. We want your time here to be the most meaningful experience of your career. Join us, and help change mental healthcare for the better.

By joining the Headway community, we’ll help you:

*

Accept insurance hassle-free by credentialing you with the nation’s largest networks and handling the billing and admin paperwork for you.

*

*

Grow your caseload by providing marketing support and best practices to grow your practice!

*

Use Headway’s practice management software to run your practice, but if using your own works better, that’s fine too!

We’ll also support your clients by:

*

Providing live, customized support to clinicians and clients in order to streamline the process of both seeking and providing care.

*

Verifying client insurance benefits instantly and automatically, so that access to care is never delayed, and you can see your clients with confidence.

And we do this all without additional fees! Headways is a flexible service, meaning your hours are yours to set, and it’s up to you whether you see your patients in-person or remotely via telehealth while working from home.
