Owner/Therapist Mental Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "New to Simple Practice" October 20, 2018 5.0 Time management Pros I like several features: the daily agenda and the incorporation of video counseling. Cons I am still learning and using the software. I have only had it for only one week. I did not get a chance to fully use it during my trial period but was so impressed with what I did use, I signed up. Review Source Response from SimplePractice November 6, 2018 Tracy, we're so glad that you chose SimplePractice and that you like our daily agenda and telehealth features. Welcome to our community. - Gillian from SimplePractice MC Michael C. Used the software for: ### "Manage your patients and counseling business all in one place." February 4, 2014 5.0 I searched for years for a practice management system that had all of the basics for a small practice but wasn't overly complicated. In short, I needed one basic foundation system to manage my patients, payments, notes, treatment planning, and appointments. I was using three systems to do individual functions with no integration of information. Finally, I found SimplePractice. It is intuitive, easy to use, and has the most basic functions needed for a small practice. The integration with Stripe payment system was added right after I started using SimplePractice and it significantly improved my cash flow and ease of patient payments. I wish I found SimplePractice sooner and would highly recommend it. Review Source Response from SimplePractice February 4, 2014 Hi Michael - What a thoughtful review. We appreciate it very much. Thanks again! Howard TF Thomas F. Owner Used the software for: ### "Best of the contemporary cloud PMS (practice management systems) out there" March 28, 2016 5.0 The software is sleak. Clean. EASY to navigate. Very intuitive. Video explanation HELP file on nearly every page. Client appointment reminders, client portal! This program goes above and beyond for a very reasonable monthly price and an even better annual price. Ever want to close your practice? All your data can be downloaded in various forms for storage. I love the feature that allows both a PROGRESS NOTE and a separate psychotherapy note. All HIPAA compliant. In fairness my only request would be for LIVE phone support. They only offer email support which creates delays. But overall, its a great program I purchased, use and love.

Welcome to our community. - Gillian from SimplePractice IL Ilyssa L. LCPC Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "New to SimplePractice" September 25, 2018 4.0 So far so good, I will have more to say once I have had more of a chance to use the software. Pros The reminders are helpful. The financial and other business forms that are available and easy to edit. The online portal. The ability to note if the client is a minor. Cons Hard to navigate to the financial forms, etc. There should be a separate tab for this or it should be clearly marked. The reminders should include notes after a session, when to update a treatment plan, ect. There should be examples of how to use all the different scales, treatment plans, notes.

Psychologist in Private Practice Used the software for: ### "Makes Running a Practice VERY easy" April 8, 2016 5.0 I have been using Simple Practice for almost 2 months now in a solo psychotherapy practice setting. I am coming from a larger group practice where there was a staff to schedule, bill, etc. and now it is just me as a therapist. With Simple Practice, I have found these administrative tasks to be very easy and manageable--to the point where I wouldn't even need an office manager! This keeps me organized on all levels, from scheduling, to storing client forms and information, to billing (both private pay and insurance clients). My clients seem very happy with the client portal, and I've found this also makes my life easier too. Review Source Response from SimplePractice April 20, 2016 Angela, we're so HAPPY to hear this!

Therapist Used the software for: ### "Multiple excellent features" September 25, 2014 5.0 Simple Practice has given me a deeper sense of ease and organization around my private practice. I love the record keeping of payments, and how easy doing credit card payments with Stripe has been. The test appointment reminders also help reduce no shows and cancelations. The calendar is clear and I appreciate how easily it synced with my iCal calendar. reminders abtou missed progress notes are also great...keeps me on track. I made one request to customer service about editing one of the forms. I got a quick response that it would be researched. Jury still out on whether my request is answered. Review Source Response from SimplePractice October 2, 2014 Hi Mike - Thanks for the review and for the suggestions. We take all feedback seriously and we'll incorporate what we can, so please keep your ideas and suggestions coming. Thanks again, Howard RM Rebecca M. provider/owner Mental Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simplifies My Practice" January 24, 2019 4.0 Pros The layout is very intuitive. I also like seeing the clients info in the right hand side instead of having to click on numerous tabes. Cons The lack of color options for the calendar. I would like to differentiate between intakes and follow up appointments. Review Source Response from SimplePractice January 25, 2019 Hi Rebecca, Thank you for your positive review. We're happy to hear that our layout feels intuitive, that's exactly what we're going for. We're here for you if you ever need assistance. - Natasha from SimplePractice MH Mei H. LPC Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use" December 27, 2019 5.0 I like the integrated platform for appointments, records, and claims. Makes it very easy to operate a small practice. Pros Very easy to set up and use. Easy to set availability and approve appointments. I love how the documents can be sent to clients when approving their first appointment. Cons The app does not have function to write progress notes. I can’t pull up initial questionnaire on the app. Alternatives considered [TherapyNotes, LLC](https://www.capterra.com/p/118981/TherapyNotes-com/)[TherapyAppointment](https://www.capterra.com/p/110508/TherapyAppointment/)[TheraNest](https://www.capterra.com/p/130400/TheraNest-Mental-Health/) Reason for choosing SimplePractice Functional features Review Source RM Rachel M. Therapist/Business Owner Mental Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very easy to set up and videos helped with my questions. " February 1, 2018 5.0 Easy and quick billing, organized and safe client info, and format of print outs is easy to read. Pros The professional and simplistic look of the program. The software guides you through inputting data which makes it easier to use overall. Cons There wasn't anything that I didn't like, it is just a different setup than my last program so I had to figure out where everything was but the software takes you through the process so it's easy to catch on. Review Source CW Catherine W. Owner Used the software for: ### "Great service!" February 5, 2014 5.0 Have used this system for a month and really appreciate how easy it is to complete, store and track client records now. The interface was fairly easy to learn. I appreciate the ability to customize and change default settings for diagnosis, etc. My only complaint is that the mobile app has some bugs and missing features (i.e., incomplete syncing of data, no access to session notes, etc). However, support services have been very responsive to my questions and feedback. Review Source Response from SimplePractice February 5, 2014 Hi Catherine - Thanks so much for being our customer and providing this honest review. We have an updated version of the iPhone app that we are waiting for Apple to approve that addresses many issues as well as adding some new things. We also intend to build out the app so you can do a lot more in it. Thanks again, Howard SC Sonia C. Owner, therapist Used the software for: ### "So far Simple Pract!ice is easy peasy" March 8, 2015 5.0 I will start by stating that I know just enough about tech products to be dangerous. Simple Practice has been incredibly easy to use so far with an intuitive kind of navigation for those with little tech experience. To this point I have used the basic functions and will incorporate some of the more advanced client portal functions soon. I like that I can slowly incorporate the program into my business as I am growing and don't have to feel overwhelmed with learning the entire program at once before beginning to use it. I also like the tutorial videos that give step by step instructions as they are short, easy to follow, and broken into very specific functions within the program. Overall I am very pleased with the quality and cost of this program, and will refer other practitioners. Review Source JP Jessica P. Chiropractic Physician Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I really like every aspect of the program so far! " February 16, 2018 5.0 Pros Very user friendly Wonderful patient portal Ability to bill insurance Clean presentation Mobile App (but needs more functionality) Great patient communication Cons Mobile App needs more functionality More patient email automation (post visits, birthday, anniversary and other marketing emails) Review Source Response from SimplePractice February 26, 2018 Hi Jessica - Thank you for letting us know how well SimplePractice has worked for you thus far. We hope the platform continues to help manage your practice. AL Anna L. Used the software for: ### "User Friendly!" April 1, 2014 5.0 We selected to try out simple practice because of it's claim to be easy to learn and easy to use and it has proved to be just that! Just enter in the client info, schedule sessions in the calendar, submit payments, and next thing you know a bill has been created for you. One best things about simple practice is that although I come across things I would change about the program they are always accepting of critiques and feedback and constantly improving based on that. The other thing I like the most is that times that I have had a question about how a certain feature operated or anything I received a very quick response with a clear answer. Customer service is a complaint for most businesses and programs, but not Simple Practice! Overall, I would suggest this program to someone else. Review Source TM Tishanna M. Licensed Clinical Psychologist Mental Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to Use" March 22, 2019 4.0 Pros Ability to send all files to new client electronically Cons The app- use of functions are limited compared to desktop version Review Source Response from SimplePractice June 14, 2019 Tishanna, thanks for your positive review. We're glad that SimplePractice is helping your practice go paperless. - Gillian from SimplePractice EM Ethan M. Psychotherapist Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Really like it so far" January 28, 2018 4.0 Pros Ease of use. Nice user interface. Functionality is good. Intuitive. Looking forward to the billing and reminders. Cons I'm a bit spooked by the comments in my FB group practice forum. A lot of people preferred Theranest and Theranotes. So I'm hoping the issues brought up in that group are being addressed by SP Review Source Response from SimplePractice February 5, 2018 Hi Ethan - We're glad to hear you've had such a great experience thus far. Thanks for leaving us a review and welcome to the SimplePractice community! LEE Leyla Eraslan E. Therapist Intern Mental Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "intuitive, comprehensive, simple" October 5, 2017 5.0 It's less for me to think about and manage on my own. There's enough on my plate that that is a huge benefit! Pros I love how easy writing notes is in Simple Practice, and enjoy how integrated it is. I'm still learning and exploring all the features, but I'm excited at how much functionality there is! It seems like therapists really did contribute to the creation of the software: it's very mindful of our needs. Cons I would like it if different payment platforms (PayPal, etc.) could be connected to my account. Also, it would be really nice if there was a discount for us pre-licensed folks who are really just getting started and could use the break. :) Review Source Response from SimplePractice November 3, 2017 Hi Leyla - Welcome to the SimplePractice community! We're glad to hear you've enjoyed exploring the different features we offer like leaving progress notes. Thanks for sharing with us! ME Melissa E. Owner Medical Practice Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great for people who are savvy and willing to spend more for accounting " January 15, 2019 5.0 I liked how this was tailored to medical practices- my major drawback was I didn’t see how it would save me enough time to justify increased costs for accounting and billing. If it saves you time, it would be totally worth the cost. Pros I liked that this software is set up basically just for medical practices- unlike a lot of other accounting softwares. It’s clearly built specifically for medicine which is great. Cons I still found it to be slightly awkward to use- though that probably would have improved had I given it more time to practice. I didn’t love that I had to pay additional fees for claims submitted, as it ended up being more expensive than my current system- which was my main deterrent. Review Source Response from SimplePractice January 25, 2019 Melissa, thanks so much for your review. We¿re always working on improving SimplePractice to help you save time, and, ultimately, money. Thanks for giving our platform a try. - Gillian from SimplePractice CD Chris D. Assistant Professor of Psychology Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "After spending time getting to know the software, I was able to find all the functionality I need." May 31, 2017 4.0 Pros \-I am able to do entirely paperless client files -There is integration between different components of the software -No up-charge on appointment reminders for clients Cons \-The UI could be improved, but also is nicer than other programs I have seen. -I would like a more comprehensive demographic questionnaire (I created a supplementary questionnaire because I could not edit the one in the program) -When assessing gender identity, saying MTF and FTM is outdated when talking about transgender individuals Review Source Response from SimplePractice June 2, 2017 Hi Chris! Glad to hear you're liking SimplePractice so far and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts and insight regarding the questionnaire and UI.

It has all the forms I need to start my small counseling business. It is so organized and efficient. I can't wait to learn how to use all that it has to offer.

Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I am very happy with the software. It allows me to have all the information stored in one place " April 7, 2018 4.0 Having all client information in one place. Pros The fact that i can input all client information including insurance details and co pay. It is so easy to access this information right from the appointment. Cons There is not much that I do not like. However, if i had to add something it would be a little note section when setting up the appointment in order to note any important information with regards to that particular appointment. Review Source JD Joel D. LPC Mental Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Making practice simple" September 5, 2019 5.0 Pros SimplePractice is, as the name states, very simple to use . I am enjoying the flexibility of the software and the ease which I can contact clients. SimplePractice also has an online tele-counseling platform which is very useful.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Mental Health Care Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Excellent" November 8, 2019 5.0 Not always 100% intuitive but love the customer service and people always willing to help. Pros I love that it keeps credit cards on file. Now I’ll always definitely get paid. Cons Not sure yet; I’m still in my trial period. But I know I’ll be continuing. Review Source SG Stephanie G. licensed professional counselor Mental Health Care Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Good so far" November 17, 2019 5.0 So far so gkkd,. I haven't used it with a client yet so time will tell. I asked a question of customer service once and I got an answer within minutes...on a weekend....at night when customer service isn't listed as being available, so that's good. Pros So far this seems pretty easy to use. I need to do more of the tutorials to understand everything though. It has a lot of features I'd need to pay more for elsewhere, or purchase from separate entities. Cons Some of it is confusing, but I think that's largely my problem since this is my first private practice, so I don't necessarily know how all the parts work. Reason for choosing SimplePractice Value for the money. Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
