For licensed therapists and psychologists

Your progress notes, written for you.
Free.

Say what happened in a few sentences — type it or speak it. SessionNotes hands back a finished SOAP, DAP or BIRP note for you to correct and sign — and it learns your writing style from the notes you keep. We never record your sessions. Practice software charges around $69 a month for this. We don't charge for it at all.

How it works

The session ends, your client leaves, and you talk for about thirty seconds.

1

Say what happened

Type it or speak it, the way you'd say it to a supervisor. Three or four sentences is plenty — the writing-up is our job, not yours.

2

Pick your format

SOAP, DAP or BIRP — whichever you already chart in. That's exactly what comes back, laid out properly.

3

Read it and sign it

Correct anything that isn't right, then tick the box that says you agree. Nothing enters the record until you do. Your name goes on it.

The part nobody else will tell you

We will never record your sessions.

An AI scribe has to record the room to work. That recording is a new thing in the world: a verbatim copy of the most private hour in your client's life, sitting on a server somewhere. It has to be consented to. It has to be stored. It has to be secured. And if a court ever comes looking for it, it has to be handed over — a transcript now exists where before there was only your memory and your notes.

We have thought about this problem for a long time. Our founder, Dr. Kat Derrig-Palumbo, is a therapist who built one of the world’s first online-therapy platforms back in 1999 — and she insisted it never store session chat at all, for exactly this reason. A record you never made is a record nobody can subpoena.

So MyTherapyMatch never hears your sessions. It hears you, afterwards.

An AI scribe

Sits in the session. Records your client. Creates a permanent transcript that has to be consented to, stored, secured — and produced if it is ever subpoenaed.

SessionNotes

Hears nothing. You talk to it after the client has gone, and no recording of the session is ever made — because the safest recording is the one that does not exist.

What you get

🎤

Say it, don't type it

Dictation built for the way clinicians actually talk. Or type — whichever is faster for you that day.

📋

Your format, not ours

SOAP, DAP and BIRP, plus a telehealth addendum with location, consent and modality already laid out.

🔒

The name never leaves your browser

We strip your client's name — and any email, phone, address or SSN — before a single word is sent anywhere, then put it back on your screen. You see exactly what was removed, every time.

✍️

It invents nothing

A section with nothing behind it says "Not recorded this session" rather than being filled in. It reformats what you said. It never adds a symptom, a risk level, or a diagnosis you didn't give it.

🪞

It learns how you write

From notes you've already written — sentence length, tense, whether you say "client" or "patient". Drafts come back sounding like you, not like software.

🗂

Your notes stay yours

Exportable any time, never mined, never sold, never used to train anything. Autosaved as you write, so a closed laptop never costs you a note.

And a verified directory listing, also free

The same listing the leading therapist directory charges $29.95 a month for.

SessionNotes comes with a MyTherapyMatch listing, because we verify every therapist's license against their state board before they're listed — and that verification is what makes the tool yours. It costs you nothing either way, and clients start finding you while you're writing your notes.

  • License verified and Insurance verified badges they don't offer
  • We run the ads that bring clients to the directory — at our expense, not yours
  • Clients contact you directly. No queue, no middleman, no referral fee
  • Never pay-to-rank. Placement is not for sale, at any price

Who built this

The question behind every "why is it free?" is really "who are you, and will you still be here next year?"

Dr. Kat Derrig-Palumbo

“Therapy software gets built by entrepreneurs who don’t understand therapy, or by therapists who aren’t entrepreneurial. We’re both.” — Dr. Kat Derrig-Palumbo, founder Dr. Kat spent a decade teaching therapists and state boards how to practise online ethically, and has been building tools for this profession since before “telehealth” was a word. MyTherapyMatch is built and run by people who have sat in your chair — not a tech company guessing at therapy.

Questions therapists ask

Do you record my sessions to write the notes?

No — and we never will. Nothing we make listens to a session. You talk to SessionNotes after your client has gone, and it works only from what you tell it. There is no recording, no transcript, and therefore nothing that could be subpoenaed, leaked, or handed over.

Is it really free?

Yes. Free with your listing — no credit card field anywhere in signup, no trial that converts to a charge, no per-note fee. Practice software typically puts AI note drafting inside a subscription of around $69 a month; ours isn't inside anything.

What does the AI actually see?

The clinical summary you write, with your client's name removed — along with any email address, phone number, street address or SSN. The name is put back on your screen afterwards, so it never leaves your browser. You're shown exactly what was stripped out, every single time.

Could it put something in my note that didn't happen?

It's instructed that its overriding rule is to invent nothing, and a section with no material behind it says so rather than being filled in. But it's a draft, and you are the author: you read it, correct it, and confirm you agree with it before it enters the record. Nothing is filed on your behalf.

How soon can I use it?

As soon as your license verifies — usually within one business day. We check every license against its state board before a therapist joins the directory, and SessionNotes opens the moment that clears. We'll email you.

What if I don't want the directory listing?

You'll have one anyway, and it's free forever — but nobody makes you complete it. Plenty of therapists came for the notes and later found the listing was bringing them clients.

Say it once. Read it. Sign it.
Then go home.

SessionNotes is free, and we will never record your sessions.
