The Top 20 Mental Health ICD-10 Codes Reveal Mental Health Trends

A data-driven analysis I built using proprietary billing data from 225,000+ U.S. clinicians on SimplePractice's HIPAA-compliant EHR. By identifying the 20 most common ICD-10 diagnostic codes submitted on insurance claims, the piece opened a rare window into the most prevalent mental health diagnoses across America, turning internal data into authoritative, widely-referenced editorial.

Therapists Are Burning Out: Here's Why, What the Impact Is, and How to Help

Flagship editorial anchored to original research: a survey of 550 therapists conducted for World Mental Health Day to quantify and contextualize therapist burnout. I turned the findings into a companion blog piece and the 2023 State of Therapist Well-Being Report, positioning SimplePractice as a brand that takes care of the caregivers and generating earned attention around a mission-critical industry issue.

The ICD-10 Code Library

A programmatic content system: a structured reference library covering the full range of mental health diagnostic codes, built so therapists could find what they needed mid-documentation instead of mid-search-spiral. I designed the template in collaboration with the Head of SEO, wrote the first entries myself to set the standard, then scaled it across dedicated freelance contributors. It became a significant driver of organic growth at SimplePractice, and remains live and maintained, updated for 2026.

Navigating AI in Therapy: A Guide for Clinicians and Clients

A cornerstone piece in the go-to-market campaign for SimplePractice's AI Note Taker. Rather than leading with product features, I built trust first: addressing the real questions and anxieties clinicians and clients have about AI in a therapeutic setting. The result was launch content that established credibility and reduced friction around adoption, connecting a sensitive product story to a skeptical clinical audience.
