HOW TO WRITE A THERAPY NOTE | Secrets to a three minute progress note *with tutorial*

This video is all about my secrets to writing a quick, but effective progress or therapy note! Hi! My name is Allyssa Powers and I am a therapist in private practice. I teach you the things that grad school didn't so you can thrive as a therapist. Accurate and ethical progress notes are crucial for effective therapy, but I hear all to often that therapists are getting behind on their notes or taking days or even weeks to complete them. Yikes! Writing progress notes should not only serve the client, but serve you as a therapist by enabling you to remember the contents of the session for next time. Throughout the video, I will provide an example of my very own progress note and walk you through the process of how TEMPLATES can change the progress note game! Whether you're a therapist looking to improve your progress note writing skills or a curious viewer interested in the behind-the-scenes of therapy, this video is for you. So sit back, relax, and let's dive into the world of therapy notes!
