The boosted profits for your practice are awesome and all, but we’re powered by people like you. That’s why community is at our core.

Since many of us at Orchid are healthcare professionals ourselves, we’ve dreamed of having a safe space where clinicians can come together for commiseration, strategy, and camaraderie — so we turned those dreams into reality: by developing Orchid’s all-in-one practice management platform for all of you.

We’re a truly different EHR that actually listens to mental health professionals and caters to your needs. The end result? Orchid saves you time, money, and frustration. It’s as simple as that.

Step right up and take a seat. We can’t wait to watch you thrive here.

First, Orchid is privately-held and run by clinicians in the US; on the other hand, SimplePractice is owned by parent company EngageSmart Inc. (NYSE: ESMT), which is a publicly-traded company. This matters because one of the biggest downsides of being a public company or of being beholden to the oversight of a parent company is the loss of independent control and the pressure to meet the expectations of stakeholders. When companies must kowtow to the demands of stakeholders — instead of prioritizing the needs of the actual customers who use the mental health software — this can lead to issues like subscription price increases, higher credit card processing fees, and cost-cutting measures like short-sighted product updates and the deprioritization of quality customer support.

Orchid is a streamlined platform that’s powerfully simple and easy to use, we have the lowest payment processing fees, and we offer 24/7 customer support.

With assets like Orchid’s built-in professional networking tools, access to CE credits, and unlimited patient charts, our most basic package includes more essential features at half the cost of SimplePractice’s rising prices.

Orchid’s AI-powered EHR is the first mental health EHR allowing mental health professionals to take advantage of generative AI to help draft clinical notes. It’s completely optional and designed to streamline the documentation process.

You can upload a recording, dictate your notes, or simply record your session via our telehealth platform. Orchid’s AI automatically generates detailed and coherent clinical note drafts, saving you tons of time and money.

Plus: Orchid’s AI can generate CPT codes and diagnoses, and if you choose to do so, Orchid’s AI can even train itself on your prior notes to learn how to write in your style.

Absolutely. We’ve crossed our t’s and dotted our i’s to meet the gold-standard of AI security and privacy requirements. We have our compliance documents in place, we’re HIPAA compliant, and we regularly test our systems for any security flaws.

The technology behind our EHR's AI note-taking functionality sets a new benchmark in clinical documentation by offering personalized, compliant, and efficient note generation. Why buy a separate AI tool for your EHR when you can do it all in one account?

Once you customize your professional profile on Orchid’s marketplace directory, that listing will help your practice show up more visibly in relevant online searches. That means more exposure to prospective clients, regardless of whether or not they’ve registered with Orchid yet.

Orchid also gives you exclusive access to professional networking with fellow therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists on our platform. Building those trusted connections can help you support each other’s growing caseloads and private practice development.

Part of what makes Orchid so dang special is the diversity of our providers. If you’re a mental health or wellness professional in nearly any discipline or specialty, Orchid can help you do business better. Our providers include therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, counselors, and speech language pathologists — just to name a few.

Beyond networking potential, this means clients and patients receive top-quality care and communication from all of their providers, on one central, cohesive platform.

You sure can — but why would you want to? Not only can we easily transfer everything over to Orchid for you, but our platform ensures you spend less time wrestling with clunky software, and more time working with clients.
