Introduction to Progress Note

Progress Note is a specialized tool designed to assist mental health professionals in writing therapy notes efficiently and accurately. Its primary function is to streamline the note-writing process, ensuring adherence to various therapeutic documentation formats such as BIRP, DAP, DARP, GIRP, PAIP, SIRP, and SOAP. By organizing session information into structured formats, Progress Note helps therapists maintain detailed and organized records.
