Join a team that’s transforming mental healthcare. Founded by psychiatrists, Headlight is more than a company: it’s a movement. A movement on the front lines of the mental health crisis, transforming how people access care and how clinicians deliver it. We are transparent about our capabilities, treatments, and coverage, champion innovation, and leverage our data to continuously improve care. Our mission is to improve lives, one session at a time.

This exclusivity, combined with best-in-class coordinated care and feedback loops, yields superior outcomes and cost savings.
