“Can a therapist-focused EHR own the entire economic surface of an independent behavioral-health practice — billing, insurance, payments, and AI documentation — without becoming a bank itself?”
Founded 2012 as an EHR + practice-management SaaS for solo and small-group therapists, SLPs, OTs, and psychiatrists. Embedded finance is deliberately narrow: online payments (Stripe) and Stripe Capital merchant financing sit inside the billing workflow rather than the company building its own money-movement stack. Recent product energy is on AI (Care Aide, Note Taker) and insurance-side workflows (credentialing, claims), not on banking or card issuance.
SimplePractice processes payments through Stripe.
SimplePractice's lending and capital products are provided by Stripe Capital.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 2 layers in SimplePractice's stack: Payments / PSP (Stripe); Lending (Stripe Capital and Stripe Capital business loans for eligible SimplePractice customers).
SimplePractice is founded in 2012 and headquartered in Santa Monica, California, USA.
