Why I Chose Simple Practice for My Therapy Practice—and Why It Matters for You

When I launched Common Man Therapy, I knew that trust would be the foundation of every client relationship. If someone is opening up about their personal struggles, the last thing they should worry about is whether their information is safe. That’s why I spent serious time researching the best platforms available—and ultimately chose Simple Practice to manage every aspect of my therapy practice.

In this article, I want to walk you through why I made that decision, and how it directly benefits you as a client.

HIPAA Compliance You Can Count On

I don’t take shortcuts with confidentiality. From day one, I made sure that every piece of technology I use meets HIPAA standards—and Simple Practice does that and more. HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) sets the bar for how medical information must be protected. With Simple Practice, I know that your personal health data is secured by encrypted servers, secure login protocols, and locked-down file storage. It’s not just legally compliant—it’s rock-solid.

Secure, Encrypted Video Sessions

Some people are still skeptical about online therapy—and I get it. But the telehealth platform built into Simple Practice uses end-to-end encrypted video that is HIPAA-compliant and never recorded. That means when we meet for a session, it’s just you and me. No one’s listening in, and nothing is stored or accessed by outside parties. You get privacy and convenience without sacrificing safety.

Safe Document Sharing and Billing

Another reason I went with Simple Practice is its secure client portal. It gives you a private place to fill out forms, message me, view invoices, or access important documents. Everything is stored on encrypted, HIPAA-compliant servers—so your personal health information stays exactly where it should: between you and me.

And when it comes to payments, I never see your credit card number. Simple Practice uses a PCI-compliant system to store and process billing information, so your financial data is locked down just as tightly as your health information.

Why I Care About This

Therapy only works if you feel safe—not just emotionally, but digitally too. I chose Simple Practice because I want every client to know they can speak freely, submit documents, and pay for services without worrying about data leaks or privacy violations. You’re trusting me with sensitive parts of your life, and I take that seriously.

In Short

I chose Simple Practice because it lets me focus on what matters most: helping you get better—without compromising your privacy, your information, or your peace of mind. If you’re looking for secure, common-sense therapy that respects your values and your time, I’m here.
