Coding Couples Sessions In Your EHR

You should stick with your current process, but be aware of some nuances for SimplePractice and TherapyNotes.

If you use the SimplePractice couples client type and one member of the couple sees a clinician individually, PracticeVital will treat them as a separate client. If you want that client to be included in retention and churn calculations they will need to have an intake session occur.

In TherapyNotes you probably have a separate client created for each member of the couple, but you only have one identified on each appointment. The numbers will stay consistent on PracticeVital as long as you continue to schedule couples appointments with that same person going forward.
