Mentalyc is one of the most established AI note-writing tools built exclusively for mental health. It listens to a session (recorded, dictated, or described) and drafts progress notes in SOAP, DAP, BIRP, and dozens of therapy-specific formats, along with treatment plans and psychotherapy note summaries. Therapists tend to choose it for its privacy posture: audio is auto-deleted within days, notes are de-identified, and a BAA is signed at signup. It also tracks client progress across sessions, which is helpful for insurance audits and supervision. Plans scale from a low-cost tier capped at 40 notes per month up to unlimited team plans, so solo clinicians with small caseloads can start cheaply. The tradeoff versus generalist scribes is that it stays narrowly focused on behavioral health documentation rather than broader practice management.
