Between Session Notes

A private voice memo tool for solo therapists to capture clinical thoughts between sessions, organized by client and date.

Read the full idea

Who pays
Private practice therapist
The problem
Therapists think of things between sessions and jot them on a phone notepad or legal pad, then lose track of which client it was about. They want a fast, private way to capture a thought and have it land in the right client's file.
The gap
Existing tools are built around recording the session itself and generating a progress note. None of the results show a tool for the between-session moment: a therapist alone, thinking about a client, wanting a quick private voice capture filed by client and date without a full session recording or note template.
Already out there
  • Upheal mentalyc.com

    Records sessions and generates progress notes. Clinicians report mis-attributed voices and added dialogue, so it is aimed at session capture, not between-session thoughts.

  • VoiceToNotes.ai voicetonotes.ai

    Converts therapist speech into formatted clinical notes. It is a note generator, not a private capture-and-file tool for stray thoughts.

  • TheraPro AI therapro.ai

    Automates progress notes by speaking. It assumes a session happened and a note is owed, not a between-session thought.

People asking for it
The big assumption
Therapists will trust and use a separate voice capture tool for between-session thoughts instead of the phone notepad they already have.
Test it this week
Ask ten private practice therapists to send you a voice memo of a between-session thought for one week using a shared voice memo inbox, and see how many actually do it more than once.

Consult Group Match

A lightweight matching service that connects private practice therapists with peer consultation groups based on specialty and availability.

Read the full idea

Who pays
Private practice therapist
The problem
Therapists looking for peer consultation are told to ask their network or post on Facebook, which does not work if they are new, isolated, or in a niche. They want to find a group that fits their specialty and schedule without cold-emailing strangers.
The gap
The results show directories, articles and paid fixed groups, but no matching service that pairs a therapist to a group by specialty and availability. The advice is still to ask people you know or post on social media.
Already out there
People asking for it
The big assumption
Therapists will pay to be matched into a group rather than join a free group they hear about through their network.
Test it this week
Run a manual match for ten therapists this month using a form and a spreadsheet, and see if any pay a small fee or show up to a matched group call.

Referral Tracker

A simple tool for solo therapists to log and follow up on client referrals from other providers, reducing lost referrals.

Read the full idea

Who pays
Private practice therapist
The problem
Therapists get referrals from doctors, attorneys and other providers and lose track of who sent whom and whether the client ever booked. They want to know which referral sources actually convert and to follow up before the lead goes cold.
The gap
Referral tracking exists inside full practice management suites and general CRMs, which are heavy and not built for a solo therapist who just wants a light referral log. The results show no standalone, lightweight referral tracker for solo private practice.
Already out there
People asking for it
The big assumption
Solo therapists will keep a separate referral log rather than track it in their existing EHR or a spreadsheet.
Test it this week
Offer five solo therapists a shared spreadsheet template with follow-up reminders for two weeks and see if they keep it updated.
