The Basics

What Is an AI Scribe for Therapists?

An AI scribe for therapists is a tool that listens to therapy sessions and automatically generates structured clinical notes. Using artificial intelligence, it captures the conversation, transcribes it, and turns it into documentation that fits your workflow.

For behavioral health providers, that means less time on manual note taking and more time focused on patient care. Instead of writing notes from scratch after every session, clinicians review, edit, and finalize AI-generated drafts that align with their documentation standards.

The Process

How the AI Therapy Scribe Works

Capture session audio

The AI scribe captures audio across in-person and telehealth sessions. You control inputs, pause when needed, and manage recordings right inside your workflow.

Transcribe in real time

As the session happens, the AI transcribes the conversation live. View the transcript as it builds, or keep it hidden to stay fully present with your patient.

Generate structured notes

When the session ends, the AI turns the conversation into a structured clinical note. Review, edit, and complete any fields before finalizing it directly in your EHR.

Before & After

A Smarter Way to Complete Clinical Notes with an AI Scribe

Before

  • Manual note writing after every session
  • 10 to 20 minutes of documentation per patient
  • End-of-day backlog of unfinished notes
"Nancy's depressive symptoms began insidiously over a period of months. They started on New Year's Day. Depression is described as episodic. Her depressive episodes are occurring a few times a week. They last for hours. She is very upset."

After

  • Real-time draft notes created during sessions
  • Faster review and sign-off
  • More time available for patient care
"Nancy reports the insidious onset of depressive symptoms beginning on New Year's Day, gradually developing over several months. Her depression is characterized as episodic, with episodes occurring several times per week and lasting for hours. During these periods, she experiences significant emotional distress."
