The Difference

Not Another AI Note App. Your EHR Now With AI.

Most AI therapy note tools make you document in a separate dashboard, then copy everything into your EHR. That adds steps and fragments your workflow. With ICANotes, your behavioral health EHR generates the AI therapy notes directly, so the documentation lives where the rest of your clinical work already does.

That means you can:

  • Insert AI therapy notes directly into the client chart
  • Keep documentation aligned with your structured templates
  • Link treatment plans automatically to progress notes
  • Keep scheduling and billing connected in one system
  • Skip the copy-and-paste between separate tools
The Process

How AI Therapy Documentation Works

Complete AI therapy notes in a simple, structured workflow that supports your clinical process without adding extra steps.

Start listening

Use your device microphone for in-person sessions or capture telehealth tab audio during virtual visits. Transcription runs securely inside your EHR environment, so you stay focused on your client without switching systems or managing external recording tools.

Generate the note draft

At the end of the session, select Create Note. AI analyzes the transcription and generates a structured therapy note draft that reflects the key themes, interventions, and clinical content from the session.

Complete and finalize

Use guided menus and content buttons to add mental status observations, refine assessments, and align documentation with treatment plan goals. Review and edit the draft, then finalize the note with full clinical oversight.

How are ICANotes AI therapy notes different from standalone AI note generators?
