Switching from SimplePractice to CounsellingClient.
SimplePractice is widely used — but it was built for general private practice, not specifically for mental health. CounsellingClient adds modality-specific documentation frameworks, EMDR tracking, crisis safety planning, process notes with structural separation, and mental health outcome measures that SimplePractice doesn't offer.
What you gain
Features built for mental health practice.
CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, somatic, and narrative therapy — each with structured documentation fields, not generic SOAP notes.
SUDs and VOC tracking, target memory management, and 8-phase progression documentation built into the clinical record.
Collaborative Stanley & Brown model safety plans accessible to clients through their portal when they need them.
Private practitioner reflections stored separately from the clinical record — not just a different note type, but a structural separation.
PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, C-SSRS, and 20+ validated tools with score tracking and progress visualization.
Website builder, blog, social studio, and lead capture — without a separate tool or subscription.
