AI Summary

The role, at a glance.

Headway is seeking a master’s-level Licensed Mental Health Counselor to join its U.S. clinician community and establish or grow a private practice. The clinician will provide patient care on a self-managed schedule, either remotely through telehealth or in person. Headway supports insurance credentialing, billing, benefits verification, practice-management tools, and patient acquisition rather than prescribing a fixed caseload. Candidates need an active LMHC, LPCMH, or LIMHP license, an NPI number, and individual malpractice insurance. This is a patient-facing healthcare role requiring sound clinical judgment, ethical practice, and independent management of a caseload.

Sample interview questions
How do you establish trust and rapport with a new client, particularly in telehealth sessions?

I begin by explaining confidentiality, the therapeutic process, and the client’s choices in care. I use active listening, open-ended questions, and regular check-ins about comfort and goals, while ensuring the telehealth setting is private, accessible, and appropriate for clinical work.

How do you develop and update a treatment plan?

I complete a comprehensive assessment, collaborate with the client to identify measurable and meaningful goals, and select evidence-informed interventions suited to their needs. I revisit progress regularly, document outcomes, and adjust the plan with the client when circumstances or goals change.

What steps would you take if a client disclosed immediate risk of self-harm?

I would conduct a focused risk assessment, determine the immediacy of danger, and follow applicable ethical, legal, and organizational crisis procedures. Depending on the assessment, I would create a safety plan, involve emergency resources or approved supports when necessary, and document the assessment, actions, and follow-up carefully.

How do you manage documentation while maintaining a client-centered practice?

I complete timely, objective, and clinically relevant notes that reflect the client’s presentation, interventions, progress, and plan. I use efficient workflows and secure systems so documentation supports continuity of care without taking focus away from the therapeutic relationship.

How would Headway’s credentialing and billing support affect your practice?

Reducing credentialing, claims, and payment-administration work would let me devote more energy to clinical care, professional development, and maintaining an appropriate caseload. I would still remain attentive to accurate documentation, insurance requirements, and clear communication with clients about care.

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 90,000 providers across all 50 states run their practice on our software, serving over 2.6 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, and building much of it with AI. 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.

Are you a Licensed Mental Health Counselor looking to launch a private practice, or grow your existing practice?

Headway currently supports thousands of mental health clinicians across the United States in our mission to rewire the mental healthcare system for access and affordability by equipping mental health practitioners with the tools and resources they need to run their practices.

Whether you’re new to private practice or already have an established practice of your own, we’re excited to support you in reaching your goals!

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.

  • Maintain a flexible schedule by deciding how many clients you see through Headway, so that you can set the hours that work 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.

Ready to get started?

To join Headway’s growing community, you are/have:

  • Licensure: You’re a Masters Level Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC, LPCMH, LIMHP)

  • NPI Number and Individual Malpractice Insurance: We can point you in the right direction if you don’t have those yet!

We believe a team’s strength is in its people, and we cannot achieve this mission without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem – across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, national origin, religion, family status, disability, military status, and experience. Headway is committed to the full inclusion of all qualified individuals. As part of this commitment, Headway will ensure that persons with disabilities are provided with reasonable accommodations.
