Measures built in
Built for the way ERP practices work.
chERP brings the records and workflows your team uses every day into one place: the fear ladder, a rating for every try, the measures you give, and the homework clients do between sessions.
The fear ladder, in your client’s words
The ladder is the plan for the whole treatment, so it gets its own screen instead of a text box. Each step holds the exposure, what the client agrees not to do, and how hard they expect it to be. Change the ladder and the old version stays in the record.
A 60 means what your client says it means. chERP keeps their own words for 0, 50 and 100, so this month’s ratings compare with last month’s.
Already keep ladders in a spreadsheet? Bring them in. They come in and go out as CSV.
A rating for every try
During an exposure, tap a SUDS rating for each try. Before it starts, note what the client expects to happen. chERP charts the session and puts what they expected next to what happened. ERP depends on that comparison.
It all feeds the session note, so you don’t type the numbers twice.
Measures, scored and dated
The Y-BOCS-II, OCI-R, DOCS, GAD-7, PHQ-9 and more are built in, scored and dated, so you can see whether the numbers are moving. No more typing a score into a note where nothing can chart it.
Homework between sessions
Most of ERP happens between sessions. Clients log each practice on their phone and rate how high their fear got. You see it before the next session.
Clients see their homework and forms. They can’t see the chart.
What is ERP therapy software?
It’s a clinical record made for exposure and response prevention, the first treatment recommended for OCD. A general mental health chart usually has nowhere to put what ERP produces. chERP keeps all of it: the fear ladder, each client’s own words for their SUDS scale, a rating for every try, what the client agrees not to do, ritual logs and homework.
Documentation you can feel confident about.
Keep your clinical records organized in a system built specifically for ERP practices. We sign a BAA with your practice before any client information goes in, and the HIPAA duties that stay with your practice are listed in the FAQ.
Access control
Clinicians see their own clients, the groups they run and the people they supervise. Anything else needs emergency access, and the server does the checking.
Two-factor sign-in
Every staff account has to use it. A staff account without a second factor can’t open anything. The client portal doesn’t ask for one yet.
Emergency access
Lasts 60 minutes, needs a written reason and has a daily limit for each clinician. Every use is logged and raises an alert.
Audit trail
Every read, write and signature is linked to the one before it. If someone changes the history, it shows.
Practice isolation
One practice cannot see another’s clients, staff or inquiries. Emergency access does not get around this.
Encryption
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and so are the backups.
Backup & recovery
Daily backups kept for 30 days, and any point in the last 7 days can be restored. We have run a restore drill and will repeat it.
One less system to manage.
Everything ready for note-taking
chERP pulls together what you recorded in the session, so it’s all in one place when you write the note. You write the assessment and sign.
Scheduling & admissions
Book repeating sessions and track no-shows. An inquiry becomes a chart in one step.
Client portal
Clients log homework and fill in forms between sessions. They cannot see the chart.
Worksheet import
Bring the ladder spreadsheets you already use. They come in and go out as CSV, and nothing is lost.
Treatment planning
Set goals you can measure. A note that records a risk concern can’t be signed until the safety plan is written.
Supervision
Supervisors co-sign the notes of the people they supervise. On the Practice plan.
See what the time could be worth to your practice.
chERP saves time on notes, homework and the rest of the paperwork. Put in your practice’s numbers. First you’ll see how little time it has to save to pay for itself, then what the rest adds up to.
25minutes a month
Two plans. Two differences.
Solo is for one clinician working alone. Practice is for a team you invite. Practice also adds two things: supervision and co-signing, and white-labeling. Everything else is in both.
Solo
$43a month, billed monthly. For one clinician. Inviting your team is on the Practice plan.
Practice
$83a month, billed yearly. Covers the whole practice, however many clinicians you invite. Adds supervision and co-signing, so supervisors can co-sign their supervisees’ notes. Adds white-labeling too: your practice’s name and logo on the client portal, forms and summaries, and its name on client emails.

Questions we get asked
What is ERP therapy software?
A clinical record made for exposure and response prevention, the first treatment recommended for OCD. It keeps what ERP produces: fear ladders, each client’s own words for their SUDS scale, a rating for every try, ritual logs and homework.
Why don’t general EHRs work well for exposure therapy?
Most keep the fear ladder in a text box and record one SUDS number for the whole session. There is usually nowhere to put what the client expected before an exposure and what actually happened. ERP depends on exactly that.
What is a fear ladder in ERP?
A fear ladder, or exposure hierarchy, is the list of situations a client fears, ordered from easiest to hardest. ERP works up it one step at a time. In chERP each step holds the exposure, what the client agrees not to do, and how distressing they expect it to be.
What are SUDS ratings?
SUDS stands for Subjective Units of Distress: a 0 to 100 rating of how anxious a client feels right now. chERP records one for every try during an exposure and keeps the client’s own words for what 0, 50 and 100 mean.
Why do SUDS ratings need client-specific anchors?
Because a 60 means what that client says it means. chERP saves their own words for 0, 50 and 100, so you can compare their ratings over time.
Which OCD and anxiety measures does chERP include?
The Y-BOCS-II, Y-BOCS, CY-BOCS for children and teens, OCI-R, DOCS, C-FOCI for children and teens, GAD-7, PHQ-9 and EPDS. Each is scored and dated, so you can see whether the numbers are moving.
Is chERP HIPAA compliant?
Software can’t make a practice HIPAA compliant on its own. Compliance is shared. For a practice that is a HIPAA covered entity, chERP is its business associate: we sign a BAA with you before any client information goes in, require two-step sign-in for staff, encrypt your records in transit and at rest, keep a tamper-evident audit log, let you export your records, and share our risk analysis on request. Your practice keeps its own risk analysis, policies and staff training. It decides who has access and removes people who leave, secures its devices, answers clients’ requests for their records, and keeps records as long as your state requires. If we report a breach, your practice decides whether it has to notify, and notifies clients, HHS and, where required, the media. Our terms and BAA set out the full split. This is a summary, not legal advice.
Does chERP replace my EHR, or sit beside it?
If your practice is mostly ERP, it can replace your EHR. Scheduling, admissions and notes are all in it, and supervision is on the Practice plan. A mixed practice can use it for the ERP clinicians and keep a general EHR for everyone else.
Can I bill insurance from chERP?
Not yet. We are building charges, client balances, card payments and superbills first, then insurance claims. For now you would bill from another system.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. chERP pulls together the data you entered for note-taking, and no language model is involved. chERP also will not write your assessment for you. If we add transcription, each client will have to opt in, and we will not train on it.
Can it import hierarchies we already keep in spreadsheets?
Yes. Ladders come in and go out as CSV, and nothing is lost. Each import makes a new version, so the old ladder stays in the record.
Can clients log homework between sessions?
Yes. They log each practice and how high their fear got, in a portal that shows their homework and their forms. They cannot see the chart.
How much does chERP cost?
There are two plans. Solo is $43 a month, billed monthly, for one clinician. Inviting your team is on the Practice plan. Practice is $83 a month for the whole practice, however many clinicians, billed yearly. Practice adds two things: supervision and co-signing, and white-labeling. Everything else is in both. A co-sign takes two clinicians, so it can’t be on Solo. White-labeling puts your practice’s name and logo on the client portal, forms and summaries, and its name on client emails, with a small chERP credit so clients know who keeps their records. The portal sign-in page stays chERP.
Can I try chERP before I buy it?
Yes. The sample practice at try.cherpocd.com has a made-up client with contamination OCD and five short tasks to walk through. There’s nothing to sign up for. Please don’t enter real client information there.
How do we get started?
Try the sample practice at try.cherpocd.com, then email [email protected]. We sign a BAA before any client information goes into the system.
