Best AI medical scribes for psychologists, therapists & behavioral health in United States

Therapy notes are not GP notes — DAP / BIRP / GIRP / PIRP formats, treatment plans, and the therapeutic alliance nuance of a session. Session content is also among the most sensitive data in healthcare; the no-training-on-your-data question is non-negotiable.

Filtered to 10 tools that serve United States and document fit for psychologists, therapists & behavioral health. The full United States list lives on /best/united-states.

What to look for when choosing

Specialty-specific notes — apply these on top of the United States-wide compliance posture covered on /best/united-states.

  • Native DAP / BIRP / GIRP / PIRP and treatment-plan templates
  • An explicit, written 'we do not train on your data' clause
  • Audio-retention behaviour (deleted post-transcription is the floor)
  • Therapy-modality fit — CBT note structure differs from psychodynamic
