AI scribes process voice data to create clinical notes without storing identifiable patient information in their systems. The confidentiality standards align with HIPAA requirements, ensuring that sensitive information shared during therapy sessions remains protected.

When introduced thoughtfully with client consent, AI scribes can operate in the background while the counselor maintains focus on the therapeutic relationship. Many counselors find that after a brief adjustment period, both they and their clients become comfortable with the technology, allowing for more present-focused therapeutic interactions.

You can copy and paste your completed clinical notes from the AI scribe into your mental health practice management system or EHR. This streamlined approach works with systems like TherapyNotes, SimplePractice, or other mental health-specific record-keeping platforms.

AI scribes recognize and document therapeutic terminology, intervention techniques, and emotional observations shared verbally during sessions. The technology continues to improve in understanding mental health-specific language, though counselors should review notes for accurate representation of clinical observations and therapeutic processes.

AI scribes can document session content, interventions used, risk assessments, treatment plan updates, and progress notes required for mental health practice. This documentation supports insurance requirements, treatment continuity, and professional standards while reducing administrative time between sessions.

During group therapy, you can verbally identify each speaker before they share, allowing the AI scribe to attribute contributions correctly in the documentation. This approach maintains comprehensive records of group dynamics, interventions used, and individual participation while preserving the flow of the therapeutic group process.
