ShellNewHandler VS Theravo.de

Theravo.de's answer:

Theravo is appointment management built specifically for independent psychotherapy practices.

Unlike generic scheduling tools, Theravo supports the real workflows of a therapy practice:

Controlled online booking with practice-specific rules Appointment requests or direct booking, depending on the appointment type Different access rules for new and existing patients Daily capacity limits and booking groups Integrated payments for selected appointment types Patient portal for bookings, cancellations and rescheduling Booking widget for the practice's own website No public marketplace profile No access to the practice's private email inbox Privacy-focused architecture with the core application and database hosted in Germany

Theravo deliberately focuses on appointment organization rather than clinical documentation. It is not an EHR and does not store therapy notes or diagnoses as part of its intended workflow.

Theravo.de's answer:

Theravo is designed for therapists who want more control than a generic booking calendar provides, without adopting a large clinical practice-management system.

Practices can decide exactly which appointments are visible, who can book them, whether approval is required, how many appointments can be accepted per day, and which cancellation, payment and rescheduling rules apply.

Theravo also keeps the relationship between the therapist and patient on the practice's own website and brand rather than requiring a marketplace profile.

For privacy-conscious practices, Theravo minimizes the data needed for appointment administration, does not require access to the practice's private mailbox, and hosts its core application and database in Germany.

Theravo.de's answer:

Theravo started from observing the day-to-day administration of a real independent psychotherapy practice.

A surprising amount of time was spent coordinating appointments: answering requests, finding suitable times, confirming appointments, handling cancellations and rescheduling, and keeping track of who should be able to book what.

Existing options often fell into two categories: generic scheduling tools that did not understand therapy-practice workflows, or large practice-management systems that included clinical documentation and many features that were not needed just to organize appointments.

Theravo was built together with an independent psychotherapist to sit between those two extremes: focused appointment management that is flexible enough for real psychotherapy workflows, while remaining simple, privacy-conscious and under the practice's control.
