Digital mental health unicorn Headspace is eliminating its staff therapist corps and 13% of its workforce.
Headspace CEO Tom Pickett told employees in an email that the layoffs were necessary to “reset” the company and “return to our roots by driving innovations in both technology and care models that disrupt existing systems.”
The move comes four months after the company named Pickett, formerly the chief revenue officer of DoorDash, to the role of CEO, succeeding Russell Glass, who announced his departure in March.
A representative of Headspace declined to answer specific questions about the impetus of the layoffs.
