The Challenge

Like many mental health professionals, this clinician entered the field to help people heal and transform their lives. But the reality of running a practice meant spending significant portions of each day on documentation rather than patient care.

  • Hours spent each day finishing notes after seeing patients
  • Evenings and weekends consumed by documentation catch-up
  • Limited capacity to see additional patients due to admin burden
  • Stress and burnout affecting work-life balance

The Solution

Two years ago, this clinician started using SOAPNoteAI to streamline their documentation workflow. The AI-powered tool transforms session recordings and notes into structured clinical documentation in minutes.

  • Session documentation completed in minutes instead of hours
  • Notes finished before the next patient arrives
  • Capacity to add one additional clinical hour per day
  • Evenings freed up for family and personal time

In Their Own Words

"It's been about two years now since I started using SoapnoteAI for documentation, and I can honestly say it's been one of the best professional tools I've adopted.

Before using it, I spent a lot of extra time each day finishing notes. Now, I'm able to save enough time to fit in roughly one additional clinical hour per day — which, in my practice, comes to about $200 per hour.

When you spread that out over the course of a year (around 237 working days, after accounting for vacations, holidays, and the occasional sick day), that comes to roughly $47,400 in additional revenue each year. Over two years, that's close to $95,000. Even after factoring in the software cost (around $600 a year), that's a remarkable return.

But honestly, the numbers aren't what matter most. What's made the biggest difference is the reduction in stress — fewer late nights writing notes, and more time to focus on my clients and my family.

For anyone in the mental health field who's still hesitant about using AI tools, I'd say this: it's not about replacing the human side of what we do — it's about giving ourselves the space and time to do it better."
