Reviews of the tools a practice runs on.
Therapist Front Page is a publication for therapists choosing tools. It reviews and compares insurance networks, EHRs, bookkeeping, payroll, and directories, with the evidence behind each verdict marked on every card. No star ratings.
- Four evidence levels
- No star ratings
- Referral links disclosed
Firsthand, or it says soIf there’s no firsthand verdict on a tool, the review says that.
What it is
The comparisons I wanted when I was choosing.
Every practice has to pick a network, an EHR, a way to do books and payroll, and where to be listed. I’ve used Headway, Alma, Rula, and Grow, and the site says which one I’d pick and why. It’s a recommendation with reasons, not a ranking.
There are also plain guides on Medi-Cal enrollment (PAVE), credentialing versus contracting, CAQH, claims, superbills, and billing for associates. For people looking for therapy, there are client guides and a few educational check-ins.
Who it’s for
Mostly clinicians. Some of it, everyone.

Client guidesHow reviews work
Evidence first, then a verdict.
Evidence level on every card
Four levels show how a verdict was reached. No firsthand verdict? It says so.
Plain comparisons
What a tool does, what it won’t do, and who it fits. No stars, no scores.
Money disclosed
When a link is a referral link, the site says so. You don’t pay extra.
Plainly
What it isn’t.
- Not therapy, and not a diagnosis. The check-ins are educational.
- Not Advantage Mental Health, and not Advantage Coaching. If you need a therapist, start at Advantage.
- Some links are referral links. Mason may receive a commission or credit, and the site says so.
- If you are in crisis in the US, call or text 988.
