SimplePractice handles couples but the linked-record flow is workable, not great
SimplePractice alternative for Couples Therapists
SimplePractice alternative for couples and family work.
SimplePractice handles couples. Stillpoint handles couples better — linked records, clean 90847 flow, individual sessions alongside joint, and per-partner portal access.

Specific gaps that come up when couples therapists use SimplePractice day to day.
