Description
If you’re a psychotherapist, mental health counselor, or similar provider who never received clear training on how to write progress notes, you are in good company. The reality is there isn’t enough training (and, at best, affordable ones) on how to write progress notes for clinicians. Most providers are expected to document without ever being taught how, and documentation doesn’t come naturally; it’s a clinical skill that’s learned with guidance and practice.
The more proficient you are in your documentation style:
-
Tracking client progress is clearer
-
Communicating clinical decision-making is more efficient
-
Progress notes are written faster, with less mental effort
-
Documentation anxiety and second-guessing decrease
This on-demand training walks you through simple approaches to writing progress notes with confidence while meeting essential audit and medical-necessity requirements. Because it is on-demand, you can return to the material anytime you need a refresher.
What’s Included in the Training
-
Three of the most common and effective ways to write progress notes
-
Core elements every progress note should include
-
SOAP and DAP note templates
-
The “medical necessity” lens and how it impacts treatment approvals
-
When more detailed documentation is (and is not) appropriate
-
Common documentation mistakes that create problems later
-
Interactive exercises to practice applying what you learn
Includes 30-day access to the recorded training.
Price: $49.95

I feel so much better about writing progress notes. I am able to stay focused whenever I remember the question, “why are they coming to you?” I love the idea about measuring the client’s progress! Great handout!
