Complete Your Note in Minutes Between Client Sessions!

Have you ever had one of these days?

After seeing 8 clients in a day, Alex is wiped.
“Was it my 9am or 1pm that had the recent break up?” she thinks.
“Who was it that recently had to put down their beloved dog?”
The important details are getting lost in a blur of back-to-back sessions.


All Alex wants to do is go home and rest, but she can’t because she has notes to do.
She knows that if she leaves them until tomorrow, the session details will be harder and harder to recall.

But she also doesn’t want to wait until the end of the day and spend hours writing.
As she sits to take a breather, all she can hear is the clock ticking away….free time slowly dwindling

This was me when I first started seeing clients.
I need a better way of completing progress notes (and fast) or I was going to burn out.

This DAP Note template was the solution to complete session notes quickly and efficiently BETWEEN SESSIONS (5-7 minutes), saving hours of time at the end of the day.

The template is designed to highlight the details insurance is looking for to maximize reimbursement while maintaining client privacy. All the details you need with none of the fluff!

Developed in a Word Document that is easily customizable to fit your unique needs. Use this template on its own or within electronic medical record systems. Complete with clickable answer choices as well as space to free write. Pro Tip: Use Word’s dictation tool for faster note writing!

This template can even be printed out and USED WITHIN SESSION to help take quick psychotherapy notes which then get converted into the formal progress note after session (that’s how I use it!)
