AI Therapy Notes Without Recording Your Sessions

Get the Benefits of AI Assistance—Without an AI Scribe Listening In

AI can be genuinely useful for clinical documentation. But using AI shouldn’t have to mean recording, transcribing, or uploading your therapy sessions.

Note Designer® takes a different approach.

Our optional Ethical AI tools help mental health professionals create and refine their clinical notes based on the information they choose to provide.

No session recording.

No session transcription.

No need to capture your clients’ private and confidential disclosures in order to create a progress note.

AI Assistance and AI Scribes Are Not the Same Thing

Most AI therapy scribes begin by capturing the therapy session itself. Audio is recorded or processed, the conversation is transcribed or analyzed, and AI then generates a clinical note.

Note Designer works differently.

You remain the source of the clinical information.

You decide what is important, what is clinically relevant, and what belongs in the record. Note Designer then helps you turn that information into professional documentation.

That distinction matters to us.

The therapeutic encounter contains far more than what belongs in a progress note. Our approach allows clinicians to benefit from AI without making the entire therapy session the raw material for their documentation.

Two Ways to Use Our Ethical AI

Note Designer’s AI Auto Note

Provide your own brief clinical input and let Note Designer’s AI Auto Note help you transform it into a professionally written progress note.

You decide what information goes in.

Note Designer’s AI Rewrite

Already know what you want to say?

Write it in your own words, or use our handy dropdown menus of content, and have AI Rewrite help make the language clearer, more concise, or more professional.

In both cases, you review and control the final documentation.

Built for Therapy Documentation

Note Designer combines optional AI assistance with the extensive clinical documentation tools mental health professionals have been using for more than 10 years.

Create SOAP, DAP, BIRP, PIRP, GIRP, SIRP, PIE and other progress notes, as well as treatment plans, intake documentation, risk notes, and termination or discharge notes.

Choose professionally written clinical content from more than 25 treatment approaches and customize it to reflect your work.

AI is an additional tool—not the foundation of the program.

Privacy Isn’t an Afterthought

Note Designer was designed around a simple principle: clinicians should remain in control of their clinical information.

Our AI is privately hosted in a HIPAA-compliant AWS environment. Your AI inputs and outputs are not stored or used to train the AI model.

And because Note Designer doesn’t require session recording or transcription, your clients’ private disclosures don’t need to become part of the AI documentation process in the first place.

Don’t Want AI? That’s Fine Too.

We mean it when we say AI is optional.

Clinicians and organizations that prefer to avoid AI entirely can use Note Designer Classic, our original non-AI documentation program.

The choice remains yours.

A Different Approach to Clinical Documentation

Note Designer has been helping mental health professionals write their clinical notes for more than a decade.

AI has given us powerful new tools. We believe those tools should support clinical judgment—not replace it.
