When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $1,404/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it payment tracking, a system for jobs, or a invoicing system — most therapists in Bloomington mix and match SimplePractice, theranest, Acuity Scheduling, QuickBooks plus other subscriptions. That's $1,404/year on recurring software. Over the next 5 years at today's prices, that bill reaches $7,020.
With Nexa, you own your tools. Your CRM, payment tracking, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one system. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No switching tabs. No third-party glue. No add-on costs. It's a pay once — eliminate recurring fees immediately. For therapists in Bloomington weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
I see six to eight clients a day, fifty minutes each, with ten minutes between to write notes while the session is fresh. The notes aren't optional; every session needs documentation that's clinically sound and meets insurance requirements, and a lot of evenings go to catching up on them. Each client has a treatment plan I revisit regularly: what we're working on, what's improved, and whether my approach still fits. Some sessions are routine check-ins, others are a crisis where I'm assessing risk and making a safety plan. Between clients I'm returning calls from prospective clients, screening whether I'm the right fit or should refer them on. Billing is its own job: verifying insurance benefits, submitting claims, handling denials, and collecting co-pays, or running private-pay clients on a sliding scale. Late cancellations and no-shows are a real hit, so my policy is in writing from the first session. Confidentiality shapes everything: how I store records, which platform I use for telehealth, what I say on the phone. I keep up licensing, continuing education and my own supervision or consultation group.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

Open on Reddit →We build a therapist's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a therapist — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
