Each provider has a story. On World Mental Health Day tomorrow, we're shining a light on three therapists who have defied the odds to bring their best practices to life. #PurposeInPractice

Mental health providers are not just clinicians — they are storytellers of care, shaping the narrative of their practice each day. But how often do they pause to reflect on that story and the tools that bring it to life? This week, Lori Gottlieb — psychotherapist, New York Times bestselling author, and co-host of the “Dear Therapists” podcast — will join Headway for a live conversation on the power of narrative in therapy. The discussion will explore what it means for providers to intentionally shape their practice story, while honoring the unique experiences of the clients they serve. The event will also include an exclusive look at Headway’s expanded EHR, designed to streamline workflows, unblock providers’ time, and empower them to focus on what matters most: their clients. Register here to save your spot for the live webinar, happening September 26 at 12pm ET / 9am PT: https://lnkd.in/gfK4e8Kg

You can read the full list here: https://bit.ly/4piXMLT At Headway, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental health care. Yet today, 1 in 4 Americans has a treatable mental health condition, and most still don’t get care. We’re proud to be building a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access — and doing it in a way that creates a workplace where our people can thrive, too.

Thank you to Anastassia Gliadkovskaya at Fierce Healthcare for covering EHR expansion news. We’re proud to have expanded our insurance-native EHR with and for providers — making it easier to cut down on admin, stay compliant with payer standards, and focus on delivering patient care. As our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Neha Chaudhary, told Fierce: “Clinician response has been really strong—and that’s because we built this with them, not just for them. I’m a practicing psychiatrist myself, and I know how rare it is to find tools that are designed specifically around how mental health clinicians actually work, especially those who take insurance.” Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eBFgADuW

The Headway EHR has expanded — evolving our practice capabilities into a fully connected, insurance-native platform for mental health. Our network of 60,000+ providers now has access to enhanced features, including: → AI-assisted notes → Integrated telehealth and scheduling → Simplified billing and session confirmation → Centralized forms library We believe that better patient care starts with empowering the providers who deliver it. That's why we're giving them all of the tools and infrastructure they need to simplify insurance while running their best practice. By eliminating in-network friction, we're transforming what was once a barrier into an opportunity to care with confidence. More than a platform — this is a step toward a new mental healthcare system that everyone can access.

Yesterday was my first day at Headway! I've joined to lead Research and I truly could not be more excited about the opportunities in front of us. Why Headway? There were four key things I was looking for in my next role: (1) A mission I deeply cared about. If you know me, you know I pretty much never stop yapping about the importance of mental health. When I told people at my last role that I was joining a mental healthcare startup, the typical response was, "Oh, of course!" (2) A mission-oriented company with smart business practices. A mission alone is not enough; you've got to have the business strategy to make it a reality. It was an absolute blast interviewing at Headway. Every probing question I asked about the business was met with interest and engagement. People wanted to dive into the hard stuff, not shy away from it. (3) Values that were more than just words on a screen. When I asked people about how Headway's stated values showed up in their work, they had easily accessible examples. And it's only been a day, but I've seen slack messages and had meetings where people use the values directly in conversation (e.g. introducing an idea with Strong Beliefs, Weakly Held or suggesting we prioritize using Better, Faster, Fewer). (4) A problem set that I couldn't stop thinking about. My brain has been buzzing since my first conversation with folks at Headway. There are critically important things to get done here and I feel so fortunate to get to use skills from my previous experiences, from my PhD work on stress, relationships and health, to my work at Meta & Facebook Dating on growth, matching, and safety, to my work at Workday leading a Research & Data Science org through change. I feel like I'm bursting with energy and feel an immense sense of privilege to get to tackle to road ahead. So, this role at Headway really ticks all the key boxes for me. I'm so excited to jump in! And if Headway sounds like a great place to you too, you should check out the Careers page. We're hiring! (And keep an eye out for future Research roles, too!)
