More about Heading Health
The organization appears to operate under or in association with Kotel ATX PLLC, offering cutting-edge therapies including Spravato (esketamine) and ketamine treatments aimed at achieving rapid remission for patients who have not responded to traditional medications. The clinic positions itself as an innovative alternative to what it describes as a 'broken healthcare system,' emphasizing personalized, tailored care rather than one-size-fits-all treatment approaches. The organization also provides teletherapy services and employs a range of mental health professionals including therapists, psychiatric nurses, and nurse practitioners. For nursing professionals, Heading Health offers opportunities in interventional psychiatry, a growing subspecialty focused on novel therapeutic approaches. The clinic seeks Psychiatric RNs and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioners to deliver patient-centered care in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings. However, employee reviews paint a concerning picture of the workplace experience, with very low overall satisfaction scores across multiple dimensions.
Heading Health's mission centers on providing cutting-edge, evidence-based mental health treatments to help patients achieve healing and rapid remission from depression. The organization values personalized care tailored to individual needs, innovation in psychiatric treatment, and addressing gaps in the traditional mental healthcare system. Their philosophy emphasizes that 'mental wellness is not one-size-fits-all' and that care must be customized to each patient's stage in their mental health journey.
