Psychotherapist Mental Health Care ### "Great product poor technical response. " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 July 2, 2023 I’ve used Therascribe for years. Initially I paid $500.00. I was told that was a one time charge. Now I’m told they want $500.00 a year. I’m experiencing technical difficulties with the software and they absolutely refuse to help me. They have changed their policies without informing me or offering me options. If they were a client l, I would call this passive aggressive behavior to just blow me off and not communicate with me. I’m shopping for another product. If they communicate with me I will write another review. Pros The professional looking document upon completion. I like the homework assignments. Cons No response from the technical support team even after emails and phone calls. Also they are not online. It’s all in a thumb drive or on your computer. I still have many hard copy charts. I would prefer to have it all online. Reasons for choosing TheraScribe It’s basically a good product except for poor service and possibly deceptive costs practice. Many of these online products seem to have borrowed progress notes intakes and treatment plans from Therascribe. So basically it’s really a good product. They should have grandfathered in some of the older psychotherapists. Or offered a substantial reduction in fees and updates. To ignore a customer is just poor customer relations.

CC Candace C. Psychotherapist Mental Health Care ### "Customer Service: \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 6, 2020 Pros I wanted to take the opportunity to recognize \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] for going above and beyond to assist me with troubleshooting an issue at off peak hours by providing me with excellent customer service. I can speak about the overall satisfaction with Therascribe software, however, the service I received from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] is what makes Therascribe the product that will enhance my business needs! Thanks again and again Cons more features are needed Re: adding more options for notes Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Psychotherapist Individual & Family Services ### "Handy" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 February 5, 2020 Overall experience has been okay. Nothing to overly complain about and I am looking forward to working with the product more. Pros Still getting used to the system and sometimes feel funny not hand writing my notes but with a busy and full practice this helps simplify life! Cons Not compatible with my apple products has made this not the most efficient software at all times for my office Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Behavioral Health Director Mental Health Care ### "Great service" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 15, 2019 Pros The service department is as available and responsive as the sales department. We needed some help learning the program and needed some customization. It was all done in a timely manner. I had forgotten to add one of our clinicians as a TheraScribe user prior to our first training session. I dropped an email to TheraScribe explaining my predicament just before starting the training and the clinician was up and running during the first hour of the training. The program is working well for us and the service is outstanding. Cons The default font is small. It can be fatiguing by the end of the day. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor December 11, 2019 One can increase the size of the default font by right clicking on the desktop and scrolling down to find "Scale and Layout" and change the percentage there. That changes all fonts on most apps, but DOES make things a bit more readable. AV Angela V. owner,COO, LPC Mental Health Care ### "Satisfied" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 22, 2019 Pros I really like everything about the software but if I had to decide what I like the most it would be the report section and the ease of being able to product and print reports on certain areas of the software. I also like how detailed the software is. Cons It doesn't have the option to bill and maybe run card cards through the system. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Matthew V. Therapist Mental Health Care ### "Solid Software" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 February 20, 2019 There are so many companies offering services to therapists, but at a monthly cost, that I am willing to spend up front on a product if it will last longer than the monthly subscription for a similar product would cost. I have been very happy with the product. The customer service is also excellent. I email the representative who responded to my initial email and he gets back to me ASAP. I emailed him when initially setting up the software, then about purchasing additional treatment planners, and when my computer died (requiring assistance with replacement software). Pros The software is relatively easy to use. Once I figured out how to set up my user credentials it only took a few minutes to figure out how to go through the sections to write an assessment and treatment plan. If I have the background info ready to go I can write the assessment and plan in less than an hour. I like that I can add data fields and edit the library of choices based on the needs of my client population. For example, I work with some gender non-conforming clients and was able to add categories to the library for each of those and I was able to add objectives and linked interventions to the treatment plans. Cons I would like to be able to have it automatically add a line for the client to sign the treatment plan (there may be a feature for that but I haven't found it yet). I bought two additional treatment planners, the cost of those can add up.

Counselor Mental Health Care ### "Effective and useful" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 February 15, 2019 Pros The application is effective in simplifying the process of treatment and offering substantive options to develop treatment plans. Cons I purchased multiple licenses but other users found it very difficult to enroll and begin using the application even with Therascribe support. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor February 18, 2019 Thank you for your review. We can certainly connect to a users computer to help them get set up. The initial setup can sometimes be a bit challenging but we will do what it takes to get it working for you. Thanks, TheraScribe Support MM Margo M. ED Mental Health Care ### "Therascribe for Group Practice" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 February 15, 2019 It was "OK". Part of it was great because having the Wiley's planners built into the program is amazing. Especially the progress note planner. However, the antiquated nature of the program plus cost is a massive drawback that made it not worth it. Pros The best part of the software is easily the access to the Wiley's planners. The information is invaluable. This makes documenting feel credible and high quality. Cons A huge disadvantage is that Therascribe is software that is downloaded on the laptop or computer.....no online access at all. You have to use the laptop you have it installed on to document. I tried to install it on two laptops and it was a mess....far too cumbersome and confusing. Lack of access to an online system and the excessive cost of the program is why we decided to not go forward with Therascribe. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor December 11, 2019 There is an online option for the Enterprise Edition where the database is hosted on PEC's Microsoft Azure Server which can then be securely accessed by a computer with TheraScribe installed, a valid user License and an internet connection.

Founder & Director MA, LIPC, Mental Health Care ### "TheraScribe" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 February 14, 2019 Because I average 21 clients a week, I value any tool that streamlines or simplifies the paperwork side of counseling. The more proficient I am in navigating the program the more time I have for counseling. Pros TheraScribe has a highly organized procedure of progression from intake to release. They have even provided easy to use intake forms to record personal history that exactly mirrors their biopsychosocial portions of the program. Their newest release has made their clinical pathway program easier to use and more flexible than ever. Because I care for a population that often share a particular treatment plan, this feature streamlines individual entry. During the later part of last year, I experienced some software conflicts between the program and my computer. In dealing with their technical support, I was impressed with not only their quick response but their relentless efforts to make sure I was up and running. During our conversation on troubleshooting the particular issues, there was interest in future efforts on their part towards avoiding software conflicts. Cons As a visually impaired user, I am having ongoing discussions with ‘sTheraScribe’s programmers on making their product more compatible with screen reading programs such as Jaws & Zoomtext. At this point, it takes significant effort on my part to navigate the program but I am hopeful for the future.

Clinical Traumatologist Mental Health Care ### "Good but could be better!" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 February 12, 2019 I appreciate having most of my client notes in one place. I would like an invoicing option to be part of the program, but not to have to pay more for it. It is a bit complicated to upload items but I haven't done a tutorial yet. Pros The one time purchase rather than a monthly fee. Cons Lack of click options for symptoms and notes.
