Every session prepared, the days in between made to count
One page per session brings together what to review beforehand, what you note during the session and what the patient takes away for next time. The time between appointments becomes real therapeutic work.

Practical details, preparation, evaluation, observed behavior, work for next time: the session page follows the natural flow of a session. Just scroll from top to bottom, with nothing to hunt for.

Next appointment · Homework for the next session
The work between sessions and the date of the next appointment.
No “Save” button anywhere: every field saves as you type. Close the page mid-sentence and nothing is lost.
Five minutes to pick up right where you left off
When you open the page, the “Appointment preparation” panel has already gathered everything you'd otherwise have to dig out: the latest scored tests, the note from the previous appointment and suggested opening questions based on what the patient has written.
Preparatory work
DASS test completed · 3 days ago
Each subscale arrives scored, interpreted and dated: nothing to work out yourself.
Last appointment
7 days ago · Overall score 6/10
“Typical pattern identified: ambiguous trigger → catastrophic interpretation → emotional escalation → impulsive behavior → temporary relief → shame. […] Homework: daily emotion journal.”
Suggestions
1 / 3Exploring situations that trigger fear of abandonment
- 1. “Can you describe in detail the last time you felt this fear of being abandoned very strongly?”
- 2. “What specific signals or behaviors set off your worry in your relationships?”
The score out of 10 you give at the end of a session shows up here, color-coded, at the next appointment. Session after session, the history builds up with no extra work.
The essentials, captured in a few clicks
A 1-to-10 scale for overall state, free-form notes saved as you go, and observed behavior recorded as clinical tags rather than sentences you'd have to write while the patient is talking.
Patient evaluation
Session notes
“Patient arrives smiling, reports successfully using DEAR MAN with an intrusive colleague. Proud of being able to hold personal boundaries without conflict.”
✓ Saved
Patient behavior
Attitude
Emotions
A shared clinical vocabulary, organized into broad families. For example:
Cooperation and engagement: Open-minded · Cooperative · Collaborative · Motivated
Insight and reflection: Self-aware · Reflective · Insightful
Resistance and defensiveness: Resistant · Defensive · Guarded…
The same vocabulary from one session to the next and from one patient to another, so your observations can be compared over time.
Your paper notes have a place too: snap a photo and the text is transcribed into the record.
The time between sessions becomes therapy time
From the session page, you give your patient what carries your work forward: a handout to reread, an exercise, a program chapter, a test, an audio track. They work at their own pace, with your instructions, and you see what they've done at the next session.

In their patient portal
Patients find their homework on their phone, with your instructions, whenever it suits them.
Reminders that do the chasing
Gentle reminders help them keep their momentum between appointments, so you don't have to follow up.

What they've done and what they share with you is waiting in their record, ready for the next session.
Frequently asked questions
Is the structure fixed?
No, it's a framework: preparation, evaluation, notes, homework. You fill in whatever is useful for your practice.
How long does preparation take?
About five minutes: the latest tests, recent journal entries and whether homework was done are already gathered for you.
What does the patient do between sessions?
They work on what you've given them: handouts, exercises, programs, tests or audio tracks, with your instructions and reminders. Whatever they do and choose to share with you lands in their record, ready for the next session.
What are session evaluations for?
They build the patient's clinical history: their overall state and observed behavior, session after session, alongside their test results and how they feel day to day.
Can I assign homework from the session page?
Yes. Handouts, tests, programs, exercises, reflective questions and audio tracks can all be assigned from the session page, with your instructions for each resource.
