Mental Health & Therapy

Built for psychiatry, therapy and behavioral health practices.

Schedule providers, interns and admin staff separately. Record each clinician's license (LCSW, LPC, LMFT and so on) and its expiry date. Pay W-2 staff and 1099 therapists from the same place without classifying them wrong.

What practice owners are tired of

Your scheduling tool doesn't know what a 1099 therapist is. So you maintain a separate spreadsheet for them.
The LCSW renewal got missed. You found out when a discharge plan got bounced back.
Interns and supervisors are on different schedules. Nothing in your calendar makes that visible.
Group therapy hours don't map cleanly to individual billing. Payroll math takes 4 hours every other Friday.
Front desk is in a group text with the back office. PHI keeps leaking into channels you can't audit.
Time-off requests come in by text. You forget half of them by the time you build next week's schedule.

Built around how mental health practices actually run

The features that matter for psychiatry, therapy and behavioral health — not generic SMB scheduling.

🧠

Provider, intern, supervisor splits

Schedule psychiatrists, psychologists, LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, interns and admin as separate position types. Supervisor coverage is a first-class concept on the schedule.

📜

License expiry reminders (Pro)

Record each clinician's license (one per person, e.g. LCSW, LPC or LMFT) with its number and expiry date. On Pro, email reminders go out before it lapses.

👤

W-2 + 1099 in one workflow

Worker classification is a first-class field. 1099 therapists onboard with W-9 (no W-4 / I-9). Payroll reports split W-2 hours from 1099 hours for year-end 1099-NEC filing.

📅

Session vs admin time separation

Tag shifts as billable session time vs admin / supervision / no-show. Labor reports break out clinical hours from non-clinical so you can see your true productivity.

📤

Clean payroll exports (Pro)

QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, Paychex pay-period CSVs. 1099-NEC totals separated from W-2 totals. Your CPA stops calling you in January.

Mental health practice FAQ

The questions we get from psychiatrists, therapists and group practice owners.

Is this HIPAA-compliant?
PeopleBridge does not sign BAAs. It is for workforce management — staff schedules, time and onboarding — not patient data. Do not store patient data (PHI) in PeopleBridge; patient charts and notes stay in your EHR / SimplePractice / TheraNest.
I have a mix of W-2 staff and 1099 therapists. Does this work?
Yes, this is one of the things that makes us different. Worker classification is a first-class field, not a workaround. 1099 onboarding skips W-4 and I-9 and captures W-9 instead. Payroll exports split W-2 totals from 1099-NEC totals automatically.
Can I track LCSW / LPC / LMFT renewals?
Yes. Each clinician's profile holds one license with its number and expiry date. On Pro, PeopleBridge emails you reminders before it expires.
Does it handle supervised intern hours?
Yes. Tag a staff member as an intern, assign their supervisor, and supervision hours show up on the intern's timecard as a separate line. Useful for licensure-hour reporting at year-end.
Can I separate billable session time from no-show / admin time?
Yes. Each shift can be tagged as session, admin, supervision or no-show. Labor reports break those out so you can see what % of clinical time is actually billable.
Solo practitioner — is it overkill?
No. A practice with 1 location and up to 10 people (including 1099 contractors and the owner) can use the Free plan — scheduling, GPS clock-in from the phone and timesheets, no card, no end date. Kiosk mode and breaks are on Team ($29/mo); payroll exports, reports and license reminders are Pro at $2 per person/mo + $10 per location/mo, so a 4-person practice on Pro is $18/mo.
