All-In-One EHR Software for Solo Practitioners

Running a practice alone shouldn't mean running on empty. Zanda brings scheduling, notes, billing, and client communication into one secure system, giving you more time for what matters.

Built for the realities of solo practice

When you run a solo practice, admin competes with client time. Zanda handles the repetitive work, like bookings, reminders, forms, billing, and follow-ups, through connected workflows and automations. Tasks move forward without manual chasing, keeping your day organized and your energy focused. You get fewer interruptions, better processes, and a practice that runs smoothly without extra staff or late nights catching up.

Support for every billing format your US-based practice needs. Zanda makes it easy to generate the right documents for insurance reimbursements—fast, accurate, and formatted for the way you work.

Practice management software that grows with you

Starting solo doesn't mean staying small. Our EHR for solo practitioners supports your daily work with self-service booking, automated reminders, configurable notes, and built-in billing. As your caseload grows, the workflows scale with you. The system stays familiar, structured, and reliable, whether you're managing a full schedule by yourself or preparing for the next phase of your practice.

EHR features designed for solo practitioner success

1

Appointment management

Appointment management

Appointment management can eat into a solo practitioner's day. Zanda lifts the pressure by handling bookings, confirmations, cancellations, and reminders. Clients can book and pay through the client portal without back-and-forth, while your calendar updates in real time as appointments are confirmed, canceled, or rebooked.

Recurring appointments remove the need to rebook manually, and your schedule stays accurate without constant checking.

2

AI-assisted documentation

Finishing clinical notes shouldn't mean working after hours. BizzyAI makes it easy by supporting efficient, accurate documentation directly inside Zanda.

With BizzyAI: Scribe, sessions can be transcribed and formatted into notes using your chosen templates and preferences. BizzyAI: Refine helps you polish drafts without copying content from external tools. Notes stay consistent, clinically relevant, and aligned with how you work. All without pulling focus away from your clients.

Less admin & more control with an EMR for small clinics

1

Built-in payments & invoices

Built-in payments & invoices

Billing is one of the easiest places for admin work to pile up. Zanda brings invoicing and payments into the same system you use for appointments and records, reducing double entry and manual errors.

You can take payment at booking with Stripe to improve attendance, track overdue accounts with aged receivables reports, and manage insurance claims directly, where supported. Everything stays visible, accurate, and clearly accounted for—giving you a professional edge without the extra effort.

2

Session notes

Session notes

Session notes need to reflect how you actually work. Zanda lets you choose from a library of ready-made clinical note templates, or build your own to match your workflow. Add text fields, structured options, and dedicated sections to capture assessments, plans, and outcomes consistently.

Notes are easy to review, update, and finalize, with drafts saved automatically. Optional in-platform AI supports more efficient note creation without changing how you deliver care.

3

Online intake forms with scoring

Online intake forms with scoring

Online intake forms help you start each session informed and prepared. Zanda allows you to create digital forms that link directly to client profiles, so submitted information is captured accurately without the need for re-entering data.

You can use built-in templates or design your own, including scoring where needed, to support assessments and screening. Form authentication adds an extra layer of security, giving clients a safe way to share information before they arrive.

4

Communication templates

Communication templates

Communication templates help you respond quickly without rewriting the same messages every time. Zanda includes templates for emails, SMS, and letters, with merge fields that automatically pull in client details for accuracy. Referral letters are easy to generate and customize, keeping communication professional and consistent.

When you need to reach many clients at once, templates support bulk messages for updates or marketing campaigns, saving time while keeping your practice visible and responsive.

Zanda clinical notes screen with insurance workflow tools

Insurance workflows for solo practitioners

Zanda helps keep insurance workflows connected to the rest of your practice operations. Manage billing alongside appointments and client records, so information stays aligned across the system. Keeping everything in one place reduces admin overhead and makes insurance-related tasks easier to manage as an independent practitioner.

I cut my note-taking from 15 minutes to 5 minutes flat. Cutting my note-taking time by a third is great especially when I think about the caseload I want to hold long-term.

Solo private practice
A client emailed last-minute asking to switch to virtual. It was just so simple click a couple of buttons and the link was sent. There's so much freedom in that.
Miki Skinner, Founder / Owner
Solo private practice
I went from working 3–4 days a week in the clinic and running my business on the side, to running my business full-time. I don't think I could have scaled without Zanda and my business coach.

"95% of my notes are now done inside the session window. That's a huge amount of time I used to spend catching up on weekends and evenings.
Shalav, Solo Private Practice

I was using paper files for years. They were getting out of hand I couldn't keep adding more filing cabinets to my collection. Going paperless with Zanda gave me back about an hour a day.
Shalav, Solo Private Practice

All the stuff I thought I'd need an entire team to do is actually a lot more manageable as one person. That was pretty surprising.
Jo Anna Sena, Owner
Counselor
I came from a practice with admin staff who handled the billing, scheduling, and emails. When I started on my own, I didn't fully know what I was getting into Zanda met all of those needs.
Jo Anna Sena, Owner

There are so many features I love of Zanda and its ever evolving offers; client portal, email reminders, how easy it is to communicate with clients. But my current favourite feature is the AI note taking tool! The biggest drain for me in private practice as a therapist has always been writing up my notes but the AI notes feature is absolutely fantastic and has transformed my practice!
Jordan M.
As a solo, part-time private practice SLP, I was looking for an EMR system that was affordable but still offered certain features (paperless intakes, customizable templates, etc.) and Zanda is fantastic for the price! It didn't take me long to figure out how to get everything set up. The customization of forms and notes is great. They recently added an AI feature for notes which is saving me so much time!
Lauren L.
One major component you'll need in private practice is a HIPAA compliant EHR that is easy to use. I love using Zanda because I've been able to automate a lot of simple tasks. For example, when someone schedules their very first appointment, they automatically get an email w/ links to complete the intake forms specific to them. Automating as much as you can saves so much time & just makes me happy thinking about it.
Frances W.
It streamlines my whole practice. From booking sessions, invoicing, sending online forms to clients and note taking. It makes everything look very professional compared with my competitors.
Kim M.
Organization is helpful, invoicing is awesome, super easy. Love the online forms and automatic import to file - one less thing I have to do! I love how files and info is stored and how my calendar looks.
Taylor
Zanda makes my business run smoothly and reduces my admin time to an extremely manageable amount. It is user-friendly and intuitive to use. Once all your tools, forms and letters are as you want them, client file management & communication with other professionals is merely a couple of clicks. My case load is now higher as my admin time is so low.
Sam Spencer
Zanda templates are awesome too! They have a vast library of templates that you can use or edit to make your own. You can also start from scratch and create your own templates for client notes, email automation, and forms. I am very pleased that when a client registers for the client portal, they will receive an automatic email with the client forms they need to complete prior to their appointment with me.
Jeanette De Witt
I am so glad that I switched from a previous, less effective software to Zanda. Despite not being a software guru, I could get used to many helpful features on Zanda to reduce the administrative work to a minimum. The Online Booking and Forms features are so practical that give clients the freedom to book and submit information themselves. No more time-consuming back-and-forth emails.
Selma Yanik
I love the online forms and the easy layout. When setting up new clients remotely, it has been so easy to send them the online consent forms etc. There's no printing or scanning required for the client, which I love.
Elicia Clarke
Easier to keep track of everything as each client has an account, which you can use for SMS/email reminders, booking in, payments, templates to save time, etc.
Jamie V.
I like the way it just keeps improving and how easy it is to obtain help if you get stuck doing something. I find it easy to use and I can add information easily to my customer files in the software.
Judith C.
I use this app for work, I am a foot care practitioner in a clinic. Great way to keep track of appointments & client records. I highly recommend Zanda!!!
Melissa Martorano
Zanda has allowed me to arrange bookings easily alongside my other job. It allows me to personalise client records so I have all the information that I need. I know everything is safe and secure with the system and I can generate invoices, emails and text messages easily.
Calluna Holistics
The interface is really user-friendly, it has great features that are needed for Private Practice and great customer support. I especially love the client profile section and the fact that it's easily adaptable to any client base (such as minors and couples!). You can add contacts to get appointment reminders as well as the client themselves and you can add an emergency contact.
Kim Simmons
I have been using Zanda for 18 months now to run my massage and personal training businesses. I use it to keep client records and keeping my diary. The app is easy to use and has helped me progress my business to the next level.
Adam
I love the clinical notes feature and how easily I can upload supporting documents to every case. I love that it can send digital forms and has a patient portal. I am able to keep all documents relating to each patient together more easily. I also love that I can add clinical notes on the go on mobile, save them as a draft and complete them later.
Nicole C.
I like the fact that Zanda supports every aspect of my business: appointments, invoices, video calls, client booking portal, etc. It has reduced my admin hours and has reduced my time on appointment bookings, as people can book their own time slots. The introduction of AI has also made a significant difference when it comes to writing client notes.
Peter F.
I like the notes feature, which is why I was interested in the first place, but being able to send forms and clients having the option to use the client portal is a great tool. No shows have stopped, the text reminder gives them the option to confirm or cancel. I don't need to carry a bunch of heavy paper notes with me all the time now.
Samantha J.
The SOAP notes setup is excellent, and the fact that these can be delivered online without any hassle makes it more convenient for myself and my clients. I also appreciate the space for files to be stored for each client. When I was looking around for booking systems, this one definitely stood out. Overall, Glad I went with it, and would recommend it.
Holly R.
Zanda is an excellent resource to have. It is very efficient for scheduling appointments, and it makes writing notes as easy as can be. Zanda makes billing and invoicing seamless. The automated appointment reminders are an excellent tool that Zanda incorporates. Overall, Zanda is a reliable and easy resource that I highly recommend and will continue to use in daily practice.
Wilson Thorpe
I love Zanda! It's so convenient and easy for my clients! They get reminders and making notes is so easy with so many templates to choose from.
Lisa Clarke Love Your Health
Zanda is so easy to use. It gives me peace of mind in my private practice as a counsellor as it's very professional and keeps notes safe. The app is super helpful too when you are on the go and you need to check your appointment diary or quickly respond to a client.
Angie
I use Zanda for my home-based Remedial Massage therapy business. It has been a total game changer in helping me with SOAP notes for my clients. The templates are easy to use and to tweak to meet my needs. Zanda has made a tedious (but necessary) task so easy and totally changed the downtime I need to write my notes.
Nicole Lalich
Has made life as a solo practitioner so much easier! Enabling clients to schedule their own appointments and having control over the time frames for booking and cancellation. Very simple platform. Can also use for my own appointments and set reminders.
Louise B.
Everything I need to run my business in one place making it easy to access client files, store information, run reports and keep on top of my accounting, wherever and whenever I need to.
Vanya S.
I am a psychologist and have been using Zanda for 6+ years and have found it easy to use and have particularly liked how the program has continued to develop with new features being added regularly. As a sole practitioner with no admin support I really value all of the automation in the program that reduces my admin time.
Amy Howie
It's given me back a life, I've gained at least 2 hrs a day. I'm able to be present with the client for the whole session rather than trying to store in my brain things that I wanted to remember for my notes. I don't have that problem now. Within a few minutes of a client leaving the office the notes are completed. I can now leave work at work and not bring it home.
Pete Flower
It allows me to solely focus on my client, leading to better connections and client outcomes. I have a peace of mind that things we talk about are being captured perfectly allowing me to place my focus solely in my therapeutic work. BizzyAI is by far the best AI program out there. I've never had my client sessions captured so perfectly.
Hannah Gordon
Using the AI has made it so much simpler and I find I no longer avoid note taking. This means less stress as at the end of the day all my notes are done and I can let go of work and relax and be with my family.
