Radical
Transparency
Ashfordale was founded on a single premise: clinicians deserve honest data about the tools that run their practice.
Democratizing
Software Intelligence
The EHR landscape is increasingly cluttered with sponsored content and affiliate-driven reviews. At Ashfordale, we believe that the tools used to provide mental health care should be scrutinized with the same clinical rigor applied to the therapy itself.
We provide independent, expert-led analysis of software like SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, and Jane App to help you make decisions based on performance, not marketing budgets.
The Manifesto
Zero Commissions
We do not use affiliate links. We do not receive referral fees from SimplePractice or any other platform. We fund this work independently and take no commissions from any platform.
Clinical Rigor
Every review is conducted by active clinicians or billing specialists who have spent at least 100+ hours inside the platform under real-world conditions.
No Soft Opinions
We highlight the "Bugs," the "UX Failures," and the "Hidden Costs." We aren't here to be friends with software companies; we are here to protect the clinician.
How We
Audit
Technical Stress Tests
We test syncing speeds across devices, load times for heavy clinical notes, and the reliability of telehealth encrypted streams.
Billing Reconciliation
We run dummy insurance claims through the ERA/EOB automated systems to check for rounding errors and submission lag.
The Support Trap
We anonymously contact customer support with "crisis level" billing issues to measure response times and technical accuracy.
