To simplify your workflow, we’ve streamlined the process for logging in and securely submitting help requests. Once you sign in to access your SimplePractice account, help requests, or the Help Center, you'll be signed in to manage all of these.

One sign-in saves you time and effort because it:

• Creates a personal portal for you where you can initiate, follow up on, and track the history of your communications with SimplePractice - no more solely relying on email or dealing with lost help responses. You even have the power to mark the request as solved, or you can choose to follow up with a Customer Success representative.
• Immediately identifies you and your practice information in SimplePractice - this helps speed up response times even more and allows our team to better focus our efforts and assist you faster.
• Increases the security of your SimplePractice account - we’ve gone the extra step to secure the exchange of your data.

In this guide, we'll cover:

• Signing in
• Submitting a help request from your SimplePractice account
• Accessing Phone Support from your SimplePractice account
• Submitting a help request from the Help Center
• Accessing your SimplePractice communications
• Submitting PHI with your help request

Getting support via Solvvy in your SimplePractice account

To get the best answer to your question as quickly as possible, we’ve improved the way you can get help from our team. 

To get direct support in your SimplePractice account, you can launch Solvvy. To do this:

• Log into your SimplePractice account
• Click the ? in the lower right corner
• Select Ask questions

• Type in your question or topic
• Click the paper airplane icon

Depending on your topic, you’ll either follow a short support pathway or you’ll be given relevant Help Center guides to assist in solving your question. 

Both options will lead you to our resources and if they don’t help, you’ll be presented with the best way to contact our team, whether that’s via email help request, Live Chat, Phone Support, etc. 

Note: Not all support channels are available for each topic.

If the topic you typed into Solvvy sends you through a short support pathway, you’ll be asked to confirm your topic. 

If you follow the pathway and the resources presented don't answer your question, when asked Do you still need help?, click Yes.

Depending on the topic selected, you’ll be presented with the available support options appropriate for that subject. Click the support option you’d like to move forward with. 

Important: Not all support options will appear, only the support options that are available and appropriate for the topic that you’ve selected will. To review our Live Chat and Phone Support hours, please see: Live Chat hours and Phone Support hours.

If the topic you typed into Solvvy suggests a Help Center guide, you’ll have the option to review it and see if it solves your question. If it doesn’t, scroll down to Was this answer helpful? and click No, show me more. 

You’ll be presented with additional Help Center guides. If you’d still like to contact our team, scroll down and click Contact Support. 

This will launch all available support options to reach out to our team for the topic and time of day. Select the option you’d like to move forward with. 

Note: To review our Live Chat and Phone Support hours, please see: Live Chat hours and Phone Support hours.

Submitting PHI with your help request

Yes, you have the choice to safely and securely submit PHI to our team if needed. To do so, you will have to select the Submit PHI with my request question topic at the top of the form.
