About
Mentalyc is a comprehensive AI-powered platform designed specifically for therapists, counselors, and mental health professionals. It solves the documentation burden that takes clinicians away from their patients by automatically generating structured clinical notes, treatment plans, and session insights from captured session content. Clinicians can record telehealth or in-person sessions (with client consent), upload audio, dictate a recap, or type a brief summary. Mentalyc then generates complete documentation in clinically-grounded formats including SOAP, DAP, BIRP, and MSE notes — supporting all major therapeutic modalities such as EMDR, ABA, trauma-focused therapy, psychiatry, and play therapy, as well as all client formats including individuals, couples, families, groups, and children. Unlike basic AI note features in EHR systems, Mentalyc provides true clinical continuity by structuring session data by client, symptoms, goals, and interventions — linking them longitudinally over time. Its AI Progress Tracker automatically trends symptoms, goals, and behaviors across sessions without requiring questionnaires. The proprietary Alliance Genie™ feature extracts therapeutic alliance signals from each session. Completed notes can be reviewed, edited, and exported directly to your EHR in one click. The platform is built for solo practitioners and group practices alike, with an ROI calculator showing that a five-clinician practice typically saves 27+ hours of documentation per week. A 14-day free trial with no credit card required is available.
