What therapists told us — directly from r/therapists
"I literally sat at my desk for 10 minutes trying to figure out what we talked about in my second session of that day. It came to me eventually but I had to sift through a lot."
— Licensed therapist, private practice
"I try to picture what they were wearing, who was seated where, what each person said that stood out — and then try to follow a trail. Sometimes I have to run to the bathroom and forget to jot anything down too."
— Therapist, r/therapists
"Because my practice takes Medicaid, I have to get notes signed in 48 business hours. As an LAC I have to get them in even sooner so my supervisor can read and sign them."
— Pre-licensed therapist (LAC)
"I found it more time consuming trying to fit the lived experience of sessions into a rigid structure. I made my own format — patient issues, patient process, facilitation."
— Solo practice therapist
"I do notes at the end of the week. During sounds awful. I will make note of a dream if it comes up, or a particularly key feeling quote — but largely no, it's from memory."
— Therapist, weekly batcher
"I started scheduling sessions with 15 minute breaks between each one instead of on the hour. Life changing. I finally have time during the day for notes — but it costs me a billable session."
— Private practice therapist
How it works
Not AI in your session — a documentation workflow for after it ends. Works alongside any billing setup you already have.
Platform flow
Two paths in. The right workflow appears automatically.
Built for every stage of practice
Whether you're licensed or pre-licensed, Notea handles the compliance workflow so you can focus on your patients.
Two to five sentences. Your summary is used to help structure a complete clinical note instantly. You review, edit, and submit to your supervisor in under 2 minutes.
Your supervisor receives an instant notification with the note ready to review. No email threads. No chasing. No "did you get my note?" messages.
Your state Medicaid compliance deadline is tracked in real time, visible to you and your supervisor. Reminders escalate as the deadline approaches.
Note is co-signed, encrypted, stored. Medicaid compliance met. Audit trail complete. You never had to build a spreadsheet or chase anyone.
The difference
Therapists are leaving platforms that record sessions, transcribe conversations, and use AI inside the therapeutic space. The ethical concerns are real — and so is the patient trust damage.
Notea never touches your session. There's no microphone, no recording, no transcript. You close the door with your patient, do the work, and when it's done — you open Notea and capture what happened. We structure it. You sign it.
HIPAA requires a signed Business Associate Agreement with every vendor that touches patient data — your hosting, your notes, your payments. We built compliance in from day one: encrypted storage, signed BAAs with every vendor, audit logs, and no PHI ever appearing in emails or error messages.

Common questions
The founder
Founder & CEO · Notea
Before building Notea, I spent years in collision estimating — an industry where wrong documentation means nothing moves. A job sits, a payout delays, a customer churns. Precision paperwork wasn't optional. It was the job.
When therapists described their note problem, I recognized the exact same broken workflow. Just with higher stakes, real patient risk, and no modern solution in sight. That's why I built Notea.
Every decision in this product comes from one place: the tools therapists use should protect the relationship between a clinician and their patient above everything else. No recording. No AI in the room. Your session stays yours.
