Behavioral & Mental Health Practice: AI Visibility Ranking

Practice management and EHR software built for therapists, counselors, and behavioral health clinics. Right now, SimplePractice is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 73 and the #1 spot in 58% of answers. Head-to-head: SimplePractice vs TherapyNotes →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

SimplePractice leads but TherapyNotes refuses to yield.

SimplePractice and TherapyNotes both appear in 82% of answers, separated by fewer than 8 index points, making this a genuine two-brand contest at the top. Where SimplePractice wins decisively is first-pick rate: ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini name it first 58% of the time versus TherapyNotes at under 3%, suggesting the gap is about top-of-mind authority rather than raw presence. Below these two, Sessions Health and TheraNest each crack 40% mention rates but score well under half the leaders, and Claude completely ignores Sessions Health, a model-specific blind spot worth watching.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.

Just below the cutoff: Carepatron (4.2), BetterHelp (4.2), athenahealth (3.8), Talkspace (3.8), AdvancedMD (3.6). 78 brands were scored in this category; the leaderboard shows the top 15.

Visibility Score: position-weighted presence across all measured answers, 0 to 100. A score of 100 means the brand was the first recommendation in every answer. Every point in a trend line is a live monthly measurement; there is no modeled or backfilled history. Full methodology.

Openness 27/100: the share of this category's recommendation weight not held by the leader.
