Mentalyc for psychiatrists
Whether Mentalyc is the right ambient AI scribe for psychiatrists, based on our independent review and what Mentalyc publishes about itself.
AI note-taker for therapists — progress notes, treatment plans and session insights.
Why Mentalyc for psychiatrists
Mentalyc is the focused, affordable therapy-notes tool — from $14.99/mo with a 14-day full-Pro trial (no card required), supporting individual, couples, family, group, child and supervisee session formats. The compliance posture is broader than most US-based mental-health tools: HIPAA + SOC 2 Type II + PHIPA + PIPEDA + PIPA + PHIA + Australian Privacy Principles, with US-based data residency confirmed and an explicit "your data is never used to train AI models" position. 30,000+ mental health professionals cited. Provisional until hands-on tested. Trade-offs: EHR integration is export-based via SimplePractice, TherapyNotes and Jane App rather than deep embed; language support isn't publicly quantified; behavioral-health only by design.
Mentalyc lists Behavioral Health, Counseling, Solo Practice, Group practice, Psychiatry, Social work among its supported specialties — which is why this page exists, and the basis for placing Mentalyc on /specialty/psychiatry.
