AI Dictation for Therapists
Get session notes, treatment plans, and supervision write-ups off your evenings by dictating the documentation around sessions instead of typing through your lunch break.
Why typing is slowing therapists down
Progress notes pile up by the end of the day
Six sessions back-to-back means six progress notes still owed at five-thirty. Typing each one carefully after a full caseload is how the documentation slips into the evening and the weekend.
Treatment plans take a full afternoon
A solid plan needs presenting concerns, formulation, goals, interventions, and review criteria. Building eight of those for new intakes by typing is the work that fills the one admin slot your week has.
Coordination emails fall through the cracks
Care notes to the GP, scheduling-update emails to clients, and short letters for the school or employer all need writing. Each is small alone, but together they consume the space between sessions.

A day with Amical
- Pre-session
Five minutes before the first client, dictate a quick recap from the last session — themes, homework set, what to revisit. The chart loads with context instead of from cold memory.
- Between sessions
Ten-minute gap: speak the progress note covering presentation, intervention used, response, and plan for next time. The note closes before the next client is in the room.
- Afternoon admin
Treatment-plan block for two new intakes — dictate the formulation, goals, and proposed approach into the template. An afternoon of typing becomes thirty minutes of voice plus a careful edit.
- End of day
Send the week’s coordination emails — GP update on the joint case, the short letter the school requested, the rescheduling reply to a client. The inbox empties before going home.
What Amical does for therapists
Built for the writing around sessions
Amical is designed for progress notes, treatment plans, supervision write-ups, and coordination correspondence — the documentation around the work, not real-time session transcription. The sweet spot is the ten-minute gap between clients and the admin block on a Friday afternoon, not the therapy hour itself.
Handles clinical vocabulary cleanly
Common assessment terms, modality names, and diagnostic vocabulary come through correctly out of the box — CBT, DBT, EMDR, schema, transference, somatic, attachment, and the standard clinical descriptors. Less common acronyms or supervisor shorthand take one or two corrections, then come through reliably afterward.
Drops into any practice tool
Amical works at the OS layer, so it appears inside whatever practice-management portal, Google Doc, Word template, or email client you already use. No per-system plugin to vet, no migration project, and no change to how files and notes get stored.
