SimplePractice Joins the ACA Strategic Partner Network

Alexandria, Va. (February 27, 2025) - The American Counseling Association (ACA) is pleased to announce the addition of SimplePractice to its Strategic Partner Network. This move expands the long-standing relationship between the two organizations and provides SimplePractice with additional opportunities to support ACA’s ongoing work on behalf of counselors.

Launched in 2024 and designed with companies who demonstrate a strong alignment with ACA’s strategic plan, mission and goals in mind, the Strategic Partner Network provides companies with year-long engagement with ACA members and the larger counseling community. Companies selected as Strategic Partner Network members are vetted to ensure their products and services meet the ACA Code of Ethics standards, which ACA members and other mental health professionals have come to rely on. Approved companies are also deemed to have a sustainable business and growth strategy, as well as the capacity to collaborate with ACA on initiatives important to the counseling community.

The new partnership will allow more opportunities for SimplePractice to support ACA’s efforts and offerings, including professional development, advocacy, networking and Counseling Awareness Month, ACA’s flagship annual event which promotes increased visibility of the counseling profession.

“Nurturing collaborative, mutually beneficial partnerships that help advance and expand the footprint of the counseling profession is a central strategic goal for our association. Building these relationships with industry is key to providing better support and resources for clinicians,” said ACA CEO Shawn Boynes, CAE, FASAE. “We are excited to broaden our partnership with SimplePractice—a company committed to supporting the needs of solo practitioners and practice owners of all size—as members of the ACA Strategic Partner Network. Their goals align with ours in many ways and we look forward to developing a fruitful relationship to benefit counselors.”
