EHR review for therapists

Sessions Health for Therapists: Pricing, Pros, and Cons

Sessions Health brings notes, scheduling, a client portal, and billing into one system. The Professional plan starts at $39 a month for one practitioner. Integrated telehealth adds $10.

For a solo therapist building an independent practice, that makes it worth a look. The main things I’d check before choosing it are the total cost with add-ons, the insurance workflow, and whether its Google Calendar connection can handle your schedule.

This review draws on Sessions Health’s published documentation. I haven’t tested it long-term. The pros and cons reflect my assessment of those documented features.

Referral disclosure: If you use my signup link and make your first subscription payment, you and I each receive a credit equal to one month of the base subscription. See how the credit works.

What Sessions Health costs

The official pricing page lists these charges as of October 14, 2026:

Item	Listed cost
Professional plan, first practitioner	$39/month
Additional practitioner	$29/month each
Freemium	No base fee for one practitioner and up to three active clients
Integrated telehealth	$10/month per practitioner
Electronic claims	$0.25 per claim at the lowest volume, decreasing to $0.19 with volume discounts
Real-time eligibility reports	$0.15 per report
Optional AI Assist	$35/month per practitioner
Card processing through Stripe	2.9% + $0.30 per successful transaction

For one practitioner, Professional plus integrated telehealth comes to $49 a month before usage and payment-processing charges. Add AI Assist and that total becomes $84. Those totals combine individual services; they are not separate bundled plans.

Sessions Health offers a 30-day trial with no credit card required and no long-term subscription contract. Budget for the services you’ll actually use, especially if you submit claims or collect frequent card payments.

What I like about the offering

The base subscription covers much of the routine work of a practice. Sessions Health’s feature documentation describes custom notes and forms, assessments, treatment plans, paperless intake, secure client communication, scheduling, billing, and reporting.

• The $39 base plan gives a solo clinician a relatively inexpensive starting point. You can choose optional services separately.
• Freemium leaves room for a practice with only a few active clients before paying a base subscription.
• Custom forms and note templates let you adapt documentation to the way you work.
• Claims, payments, and superbills are available in the same system, which may reduce the number of separate tools you maintain.

The help center describes a Claim.MD integration for electronic claims, status updates, eligibility checks, and ERAs, with automatic payment posting when ERAs arrive. That is useful infrastructure for a practice handling its own billing or working with a biller. You still need to test your payer setup and reconciliation process.

Sessions Health also says migration assistance is free. Which records transfer depends on the source EHR, so confirm what can be imported before planning a move.

Where I’d look closely

Add-ons can change the budget

Telehealth and AI Assist each add a monthly fee per practitioner. Claims, eligibility checks, and card processing add usage charges. The base price is a starting point for comparing costs.

Calendar connections have limits

Two-way sync works directly with Google Calendar. It exports Sessions Health appointments and imports busy time from Google calendars you own. Shared or read-only feeds from other platforms cannot directly block availability through that connection.

Keep clinical appointment changes inside Sessions Health. Editing or moving those appointments in Google can break the connection or create duplicates. Edit personal events in their original Google calendar.

One-way sync exports appointments to calendars that accept subscription feeds, including Apple Calendar and Outlook. It is view-only, exports up to six months ahead, and refreshes on the receiving calendar’s schedule. Sessions Health says Google URL subscriptions may take up to 24 hours to refresh.

Support is primarily by email

Sessions Health publishes general support hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central, Monday through Friday. Video demos or screen-share calls can be arranged. If you work evenings or weekends, consider how you’ll handle a problem during a session.

What to test before switching

Try one fictional client through the full workflow: intake, booking, a note, a superbill or claim, payment reconciliation, and an export. Use nonclinical sample events to test whether calendar blocks prevent bookings.

For a migration, check these before retiring your old system:

• Confirm which notes, documents, consents, and client details can transfer.
• Reconcile balances and claim history, and check upcoming appointments.
• Test a record export. Sessions Health documents PDF exports of clinical and billing records and CSV demographic exports.
• Arrange record retention before closing an account.

I’d shortlist Sessions Health for a solo or small group practice that wants clinical records and administrative tools together. If you want someone else to run the entire insurance operation, assess that service separately. Compare your needs using how to choose a therapy EHR and direct credentialing versus platforms.

Is this the same as Psychology Today Sessions?

No. This page covers the Sessions Health EHR at sessionshealth.com. Psychology Today’s directory and its separate video service are covered in the Psychology Today review.
