Independent Insights for Independent Clinicians
We aren't a software company. We are clinicians who decided to document the truth about EHR platforms.
Radical Transparency in Behavioral Health Technology.
Haverstead was founded to serve as a beacon of clarity in an increasingly crowded and expensive EHR market. We realized that while platforms like SimplePractice and TherapyNotes provide immense value, the lack of independent, non-sponsored information was hurting practitioners' bottom lines.
We believe that every therapist, psychologist, and coach deserves to know exactly what they are paying for—and what the alternatives are—without the noise of affiliate links or hidden sponsorships.
We do not accept payments from EHR vendors to rank them higher. Period.
Our data is grounded in the lived experience of real private practice owners.
We test software for 90 days before writing a single word of our reviews.
Our Core Principles
The foundation of every review and guide we publish at Haverstead.
Full Independence
We are not employees, affiliates, or partners of SimplePractice. Our reviews cannot be influenced by corporate interests.
Clinical Focus
We evaluate software based on HIPAA compliance, clinical necessity, and daily workflow efficiency, not just "flashy" marketing features.
Educational Intent
Our content is strictly educational. We provide the data, but you make the final decision for your practice's unique needs.
