6 Minute SOAP Note

My initial inspiration for creating this template came from my own experience as a therapist. I found that I was spending far too much time and energy trying to figure out what I should and shouldn't include in my progress notes, only to be left with a stack of unfinished notes and a pit in my stomach.

It felt like the majority of my hours were spent trying to catch up on documentation. It was at the point where I was excited to have a cancellation because that meant I had a free hour to try and catch up on paperwork. While documenting progress notes is important, dedicating the majority of my already long workday hours to such a task felt overwhelming and draining.

I realized that there had to be some way to simplify this process without sacrificing quality or accuracy in the writing of session progress notes. Seeing an opportunity to help others—not just myself—in a similar situation, I began deconstructing every step of the documentation process and finding ways to streamline it-- saving me time and sanity.

After months of research, strategy building and refinement, I developed my unique SOAP note template system that can help therapists complete accurate progress notes faster than ever before.

Timely Quality Care

Quality care is essential in a mental health setting, and clinical documentation SOAP note templates allow practitioners to provide accurate depiction of the services provided without sacrificing precious minutes of the day.

This template offers pre-outlined SOAP note details that can be easily filled-in for consistent clinical documentations with accuracy that saves valuable time for clinicians so their focus remains on client care.

Therapy sessions can fill up quickly; with this template, you don't have to carry an additional burden of creating progress notes from scratch after each meeting.

Using this template helped me get my notes down from 20 minutes each at the end of the work day, to now 6 minutes after sessions!
