> # Best telehealth platforms for therapists
> 
> "Telehealth platform" means two different things for therapists, so here's both - first the software you run your own practice on, then the networks that send you clients.
> 
> ## All-in-one practice software (video + notes + scheduling + billing)
> 
> **1. SimplePractice** - What I'd recommend to most solo therapists. Built-in HIPAA-compliant video tied to your calendar and notes, client portal, insurance claims, and by far the deepest customization for intake forms and note formats. Roughly $49-$99/mo solo, ~$173+/mo for group practices. It's also the most-reviewed therapy EHR out there (4.6/5 from 2,800+ Capterra reviews), which means a large community and lots of tutorials when you get stuck.
> 
> **2. TherapyNotes** - The main alternative, and the one to pick if documentation and billing quality matter more to you than polish. Purpose-built for mental health, telehealth supports up to 16 participants with screen sharing and a virtual waiting room. Clinicians who do a lot of insurance work tend to prefer its billing.
> 
> **3. TheraPlatform** - Best if teletherapy *is* your practice rather than an add-on. Strong provider-side video workflow with EMR,
