You became a therapist to help people heal—not to spend hours on paperwork and administrative tasks. Yet many mental health professionals find themselves drowning in documentation, billing headaches, and clunky software that wasn't built with therapy in mind.
The right Electronic Health Record (EHR) system changes everything. It should work the way you work, support evidence-based practice, and give you more time with clients instead of screens.
My Best Practice was designed by mental health professionals who understand these challenges. That's why it earned recognition as the 2024 Best Overall EHR. This guide shows you what sets it apart and why therapists are making the switch.
