Add validated assessments, trend charts, clinical alerts, and data-grounded clinical updates — without changing how you use SimplePractice. Free plan available; no credit card.
What SimplePractice does well.
SimplePractice is the most widely-used EHR for solo and small-group mental health practices. It handles scheduling, billing, insurance claims, telehealth, secure messaging, and client records — the operational backbone of running a private practice.
What it doesn't cover.
What SimplePractice doesn't include: validated outcome measures with auto-scoring and severity bands, longitudinal trend visualization across assessments, AI clinical insights pulled from assessment patterns, or structured outcome-tracking dashboards. Its built-in measures are limited and not designed around session-over-session outcome tracking.
What Theracharts adds.
Six capabilities Theracharts brings that SimplePractice doesn't ship in the box.
100+ validated assessments
PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, AUDIT, DASS-21, and dozens more — auto-scored with clinical severity bands.
Outcome trend charts
See PHQ-9 drop from 18 to 6 over 12 weeks, with reliable change detection and milestone flags.
Clinical alerts
Get notified when a client's score crosses a clinical threshold or jumps significantly between sessions.
Clinical updates ready to paste
One-click data-grounded narrative covering everything measured since your last update — pastes cleanly into SimplePractice's note fields.
Client portal (PWA)
Clients complete assigned forms on their phone between sessions. No app store needed.
Couples comparison tools
Side-by-side perception gaps and parallel trend charts for couples therapy work.

Frequently asked.
Is Theracharts a SimplePractice alternative?
No — and that's deliberate. Theracharts doesn't replace SimplePractice; it adds the outcome-tracking and measurement-based-care layer SimplePractice doesn't cover. Keep SimplePractice for scheduling, billing, and records, and run Theracharts alongside it for validated assessments, trend charts, and clinical alerts.
Do I need to migrate off SimplePractice?
No. Theracharts is additive — your SimplePractice account stays exactly as it is. You log into both. Theracharts handles outcomes; SimplePractice handles scheduling, billing, and records.
Is there an integration / API connection?
Not directly — SimplePractice doesn't expose a public developer API. The workflow is copy-paste: generate the clinical update text in Theracharts, paste into SimplePractice's note field. Takes about 5 seconds per client per export.
Will Theracharts duplicate my client records?
Theracharts stores enough to run assessments and track outcomes — name (or just initials, your choice), email for the client portal, and assessment responses. It is not a replacement for SimplePractice's full client record.
Does Theracharts handle billing or insurance claims?
No. Theracharts has zero billing functionality. SimplePractice keeps that job — and does it well. Theracharts focuses entirely on the clinical-data layer that SimplePractice doesn't cover.
Is the free plan enough for a SimplePractice user?
Often, yes. The free Theracharts plan includes 10 active clients, 100+ assessments, outcome trend charts, and clinical alerts. The paid plan ($25/seat/mo) unlocks unlimited clients, AI clinical insights, and the clinical-update generator.
