by Therapy Notes Guide

Want more time back? Get this guide to help you write your notes! As a therapist, you see several clients a day often with very little time in between. Whether you are doing a diagnostic assessment or a therapy session, documentation is required after the encounter. It is critical that a clinician take time to document the progress note as it is a permanent part of a client’s record. After a day of seeing clients, you are exhausted! It would be ideal to write the note right after every session, but it is often impossible. Some clinicians have the school of thought to write the note during the client session. WRONG! You cannot pay close attention to the client if you are typing while they are talking. Sure, you can jot some notes down during the session but that still doesn’t write the note. Interns – you have to hit the ground running! You may get guidance but help writing the note and getting better at it? That’s part of your homework. You will have to figure it out and you will..in between classes, studying, and completing your internship. Good luck. Day after day of seeing clients without documenting right away adds up. So, here’s the biggest mistake we WE UNDERESTIMATE THE TIME IT TAKES TO WRITE THE NOTE. You know what has to get written, but the words escape you to fully describe the session. This guide helps you simplify the process yet write a comprehensive note! As the clinician, you care and take pride in what you do, and you have to focus on making certain the message is conveyed with person-centered language. And each client is different. SO MUCH TO CONSIDER AND SO LITTLE TIME!
