GetApp offers objective, independent research and verified user reviews. We may earn a referral fee when you visit a vendor through our links.
Our commitment
Independent research methodology
Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
Verified user reviews
GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews. We may also share aggregated ratings and select excerpts from those reviews throughout our site.
Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.
How GetApp ensures transparency
GetApp lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. GetApp is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

Overview
Let your clients book appointments, classes, or packages, fill out intake forms, add appointments to their calendar, receive confirmation and reminder notifications, and reschedule, cancel, and pay for appointments automatically—zero hula dancing, email ping-pong, or phone tag required.
Most EHRs aren’t built for mental health, but TheraNest is. Built for solo and small group mental health practices.

“My favorite feature is that I can set specific appointment times on my availability calendar such as 10a, 1pm, 3:30p . ”
JD
Jennifer D.
Owner
“It is a reliable scheduling solution that helps streamline appointment management, improve client communication, and reduce administrative tasks.”
JS
Janapher S.
Administrative Coordinator
“Acuity filled the scheduling gap where we needed it. As we grew the business, it provided us with quick wins in standing up a new business model that required dynamic scheduling across multiple platforms including M365, Postgresql and Retool. ”
Eric T.
Director, Digital Transformation
Pros
“A helpful enhancement would be a pop-up notification upon login reminding clients that their provider has sent forms requiring completion, along with clear instructions on where to locate those forms within the portal.”
CV
Chloe V.
Administrative and Billing Assistant
“I found the scheduling, documentation, billing, and client management features helpful in keeping workflows efficient and reducing administrative burdens.”
HS
Heather S.
General Manager
“I am a solo practitioner in private practice, and TheraNest is like my assistant who does billing, scheduling, and insurance submission (all in one program).”
LW
Lienna W.
Psychologist
Cons
“Customizing the booking page beyond the basics requires more effort than it should. And if you have a more complex multi-staff setup, the logic around calendar management can get confusing quickly.”
DT
Dimitri T.
consultant
“That it doesn’t offer enough customization for the scheduling interface.”
CF
Colby F.
Personal Trainer and Nutritionist
“Acuity Scheduling is on time-based events, so it's not a solution for multi-day events, industries like hotels, and bed and breakfasts.”
DK
David K.
President
Cons
“What I really DON'T like is the daily schedule page because I have to scroll down to see all my appointments, and if my browser window is not fully expanded, I can't access the "copy note from last session" function on my very last client of the day.”
LM
Lavinia M.
Licensed Professional Counselor, Owner
“Customization options for reports, forms, and templates could be restrictive, making it difficult to tailor the system to the unique needs of a growing practice.”
HS
Heather S.
General Manager
“In terms of self-learning to navigate the system, the learning library include other medical functions that the mental health system do not need.”
