Is it for you?
We've identified the three archetypes where SimplePractice thrives.
The Solo Out-of-Network
For clinicians who don't take insurance and prioritize a high-end client experience. The slick portal and automated "Superbills" make this the easiest platform for OON work.
The Tech-Forward Group
Practices with 2-10 clinicians who need central management but want to offer their providers a mobile app that actually works. The permission system is solid.
The Efficiency Minimalist
Therapists who want a "single pane of glass." If you want your website, schedule, billing, and notes in one place, this is the most unified system available.
