SOAP Note Buddy Works Seamlessly with SimplePractice
SimplePractice is one of the most popular practice management and EHR systems for mental health professionals, including therapists, counselors, psychologists, and social workers. It's known for its clean interface, integrated telehealth, and flexible documentation templates.
SOAP Note Buddy is a Chrome extension that works alongside SimplePractice to automate your clinical documentation. While SimplePractice handles scheduling, billing, and client management, SOAP Note Buddy adds AI-powered note generation that fills your progress notes, treatment plans, and session documentation automatically.
SOAP Note Buddy works as a browser extension - if SimplePractice runs in Chrome, we can detect and fill its fields. No API setup, no IT tickets, no waiting for approvals.
How SOAP Note Buddy Works with SimplePractice
SOAP Note Buddy integrates with SimplePractice through intelligent field detection. Here's the step-by-step process:
Install the Chrome Extension
Add SOAP Note Buddy to Chrome in under 30 seconds from the Chrome Web Store. No downloads, no installers, no IT approval required.
Add Your Client Context
Enter the client's intake information - presenting concerns, treatment goals, diagnoses, and relevant history. This information stays on your local device and is never stored on our servers.
Open SimplePractice
Navigate to your client's chart in SimplePractice. SOAP Note Buddy automatically detects all documentation fields - progress notes, SOAP/DAP sections, treatment plans, and dropdown menus.
Click Generate
With one click, AI generates personalized clinical content and fills your SimplePractice fields directly. Review the content, make any adjustments, and sign your note.
Prefer to dictate? Use our iOS/Android apps to record session summaries, then generate notes from the transcription. Or skip voice entirely and use text-based workflow - your choice.
Features for SimplePractice Users
Works with SimplePractice Templates
SimplePractice offers flexible note templates including SOAP, DAP, BIRP, and custom formats. SOAP Note Buddy adapts to whatever template you're using and fills fields appropriately.
Save 10+ Hours/Week
Progress notes that took 15-20 minutes per session now take 2-3 minutes. Finish documentation between sessions instead of staying late or working weekends.
HIPAA Compliant
PHI is automatically removed before AI processing. Client names, DOBs, and identifiers never leave your device. We offer a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
Perfect for Private Practice
SimplePractice is popular with solo and group private practices. SOAP Note Buddy is designed for the same audience - simple setup, no IT team required, just install and start documenting.
Mental Health Focused
AI understands therapy documentation - presenting problems, clinical interventions, treatment progress, and safety assessments. Notes that reflect actual clinical work.
Works If You Switch EHRs
Unlike SimplePractice-specific tools, SOAP Note Buddy works with any browser-based EHR. If you change systems, your workflow stays the same.
SimplePractice Fields We Support
SOAP Note Buddy automatically detects and fills common SimplePractice documentation fields:
- Progress Notes - Session notes, therapy summaries, clinical observations
- SOAP/DAP/BIRP Sections - Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan, Intervention, Response fields
- Treatment Plans - Goals, objectives, interventions, target dates
- Session Summaries - What happened in session, interventions used, client response
- Mental Status Exams - Appearance, mood, affect, thought content, insight
- Dropdown Menus - Diagnosis codes, intervention types, progress ratings
- Risk Assessments - Safety screening, suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation documentation
SOAP Note Buddy uses AI-driven field detection based on context, not hardcoded field names. If SimplePractice updates their interface, we adapt automatically.
SimplePractice Users Save Hours Every Week
"I've been using SimplePractice for years for scheduling and billing, but progress notes were killing me. Between sessions, evenings, weekends - documentation was never-ending. SOAP Note Buddy changed that. Now I finish my notes in 2-3 minutes while my client is walking out. The AI actually understands therapy notes and writes content that sounds clinically appropriate."
At 25 clients/week, saving 10 minutes per note = 4+ hours per week
