Headway takes the stress out of being a therapist. The customer service is beyond anything I could have imagined: prompt, thoughtful and accurate. I could not recommend a therapy team more highly!

The Calendar system
The digital calendar system needs to be updated. I recommend they model the Therapy Notes calendar system.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to call out the calendar experience specifically — scheduling is an important part of making the platform easier to use for providers.
We’ll make sure this feedback is shared with the right team as we continue working to improve the Headway experience.

The team I met with
The team I met with, and the fact that y'all are taking the time as a company to ask for clinician reviews in the first place.

If I could leave zero Stars I would
If I could leave zero Stars I would. Two providers two appointments booked both of them missed it.
Don't bother making an appointment because they're not going to keep it
Response from HeadwayJun 25, 2026
Hi Matt,
We’re sorry this happened. When someone takes the time to schedule care, they should be able to trust that the appointment will happen as expected. We understand how frustrating and discouraging it is when that doesn’t happen.
We’d like to get this reviewed and help with next steps. Please reach out through our support form here: https://care.headway.co/contact
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I was scheduled to see a therapist
I was scheduled to see a therapist. I booked the appointment online selected one of the times they gave me the day of the appointment. I got a message from the therapist that she had a conflict she needed to change the time my time is very valuable and the time I chose was when I could do it she had the audacity to charge me $100 cancellation fee. This is one of the worst Therapy places out there don’t go and talk to anybody through this site, it is a rip off. The therapist name was Diane and she should not be involved in doing online therapy. What a load of crap I want my money back. They suck.

Hi Annie,
We’re sorry this appointment experience was so frustrating, especially after you booked a time that worked for your schedule and then had concerns about a cancellation fee. We understand why you’d want this reviewed and get clearer support.

STAY AWAY AND FIND BETTER
I will start off by saying my therapist Melissa was great and none of this review reflect her in any way.
All I can say is STAY AWAY FROM
HEADWAY. The company does not care about your mental health. They care about your money. When I moved companies to stay with Melissa, I checked and it seemed my insurance wouldn’t cover the visit. They asked me for a copy of my insurance card, ran it and told me that it was going to cost $X to be seen. So I have my usually every two week visits. After. Is it 4 or 5, they reach out and say Oops we made a mistake! It’s actually $2X dollars for each visit so you owe us all the money for the past visits where you didn’t pay enough. I spoke with the tram and they admitted they made a mistake when they checked my benefits. I petitioned that in good faith they should waive the charges for the back pay and they are doubling down on keeping the charges in place.
I highly highly highly recommend going to thriveworks instead. When I was with them, they never back billed, late charged, etc. they were always friendly to work with. Also, most importantly, you could talk to somebody on the phone. With headway, your only option is emails. They don’t have a phone number. So this whole thing has been miserable.
UPDATE:
Headway has reached out to me below by replying to this post. This is all for their own optics. After getting CMS and the state of NJ involved and writing them a strongly worded email, they have elected to waive the extra charges. Just so you know, this was their exact verbiage: “Despite knowing that your charges are valid, your outstanding charges have been removed by our internal team.” Instead of an apology and we will do better, it was this.

Hi Andrew,
We’re glad to hear you had a positive experience with your therapist, but we’re sorry the billing and insurance experience has been so frustrating. Unexpected charges after receiving cost information upfront can feel incredibly upsetting, and we understand why you’d want clearer answers and support.
