Referral Tracker.
An app idea for mental health therapists.
A simple tool for solo therapists to log and follow up on client referrals from other providers, reducing lost referrals.
What the search found
- Who pays
- Private practice therapist
- The problem
- Therapists get referrals from doctors, attorneys and other providers and lose track of who sent whom and whether the client ever booked. They want to know which referral sources actually convert and to follow up before the lead goes cold.
- The gap
- Referral tracking exists inside full practice management suites and general CRMs, which are heavy and not built for a solo therapist who just wants a light referral log. The results show no standalone, lightweight referral tracker for solo private practice.
- Already out there
- TheraPlatform theraplatform.com

- Healthie gethealthie.com

- Offer five solo therapists a shared spreadsheet template with follow-up reminders for two weeks and see if they keep it updated.
