AI Medical Scribe for

Psychologists

Stay in the room with your client while AI drafts the progress note — session content, interventions, and risk in your format. Stop reconstructing a 50-minute session from memory at 9pm.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for psychologists — ready before your patient leaves the room.

Therapy Session Ready to copy

Summary

28F - Session 8 for generalized anxiety disorder. CBT showing effectiveness. PHQ-9: 8 (mild), GAD-7: 10 (moderate), down from 15 at intake.

Current Presentation

Reports improved sleep quality using relaxation techniques. Work-related stressors remain the primary anxiety trigger. Successfully used cognitive restructuring during a work presentation last week. Mood more stable overall; anxiety spikes now shorter and less frequent.

Interventions

  • Reviewed thought records from past week; challenged catastrophizing patterns
  • Practiced progressive muscle relaxation in session
  • Introduced exposure hierarchy for social situations

Risk Assessment and Management

Denies suicidal ideation, self-harm, or homicidal ideation. No substance use reported. No changes to risk status since intake; continue routine monitoring.

Next Steps

  • Continue daily thought records
  • Practice PMR before bed nightly
  • Begin lowest-level exposure task before next session
  • Next session in 2 weeks; repeat GAD-7

Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.

Therapy notes shouldn't compete with the therapy

Six clients a day, six notes at night

A progress note for every session — presentation, interventions, progress toward goals, risk — written after your last client leaves is how caseloads turn into burnout.

Enough for the record, not more than it needs

Progress notes have to show medical necessity and what you did in session without spilling into psychotherapy-note territory. Getting that boundary right takes time you don't have.

You can't track process while typing

Affect shifts, hesitations, what the client almost said — the clinical material of therapy disappears the moment your attention moves to a keyboard.

Session documentation

A full progress note from every 50-minute hour

Medical Scribe listens to the session — in person or telehealth — and drafts the Psychologist's note: current presentation, session content, interventions, progress and setbacks, risk assessment, and next steps. You review, edit, and sign.

Risk documentation

Risk captured the way it was actually assessed

Suicidal ideation, self-harm, and your management plan are documented in a dedicated Risk Assessment and Management section — from what was actually said in session, never invented.

Built for the therapy hour

Whether it’s a weekly CBT session, a 90-minute intake, couples work, or telehealth, Medical Scribe records the session and drafts the note that matches it. An initial assessment produces a full clinical interview write-up; a follow-up produces a tight progress note. You stay with the client; the draft is ready when the hour ends.

What the note captures

The built-in Psychologist’s note mirrors how psychologists actually chart: Current Presentation, Past Medical & Psychiatric History, Mental Status Examination, Session Content, Obstacles, Setbacks and Progress, Interventions, Risk Assessment and Management, Session Summary, and Next Steps. Brief but clinically important topics — the offhand disclosure, the small win — make it into the record instead of being lost.

A record you’d stand behind

Therapy notes get read — by auditors, by attorneys, sometimes by clients. Medical Scribe documents only what was actually said and observed, keeps risk assessment and your management plan in their own section, and never fills gaps with invented findings. Every note is yours to edit and sign before it touches the chart.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the notes it writes and my psychotherapy notes?

Medical Scribe drafts the progress note — the official record of presentation, interventions, risk, and plan. Your private psychotherapy (process) notes remain separate and yours. You control exactly what goes in the chart, because you review and edit every note before signing.

Can it write DAP, BIRP, or my own note format?

Yes. It supports SOAP, DAP, and custom formats, and includes the built-in Psychologist's note and Psychology Initial Assessment templates among 280+ specialty templates. If your practice uses BIRP or an agency-specific structure, you can build a custom template in minutes.

How do clients consent to being recorded in therapy?

The same way they would with any scribe or trainee: you inform them and ask. Many practices add a line to their intake paperwork. Recordings are encrypted in transit and at rest, and Medical Scribe is HIPAA compliant.

Will it invent clinical observations I didn't make?

No. The note only documents what was said and observed in the session. If risk wasn't discussed or a mental status observation wasn't verbalized, that section stays blank rather than being filled with plausible-sounding text.
