Three therapy progress note templates for clinicians who write a note after every session. Each one expands from a shortcut and hands you menus for the clinical words you use in progress notes: mood, affect, thought process, interventions, client response, risk. The wording stays yours. You just stop typing it out.

What's inside: three progress note templates

• /pnote writes the session up as narrative prose. One pass through the menus covers presentation, interval history, symptoms, interventions, response, risk and plan, and it comes out in full sentences.
• /pnform lays the same note out as a form, with subjective, objective, interventions, response, risk, assessment and plan boxes. Each one carries a hint about what belongs in it, including medical necessity in the assessment.
• /pnfull adds a complete mental status exam template: appearance, psychomotor, speech, mood and affect, thought process and content, perceptions, cognition, insight and judgment. Vitals are an optional toggle.

Risk gets documented every time

Each version has a risk section that fills itself in: suicidal and homicidal ideation, self-harm, access to lethal means, safety plan status, protective factors and an overall risk level. It defaults to the denial language, so the section is never blank on a note somebody reads two years from now.

How it works

1. Add the folder, then type /pnote, /pnform or /pnfull in your EHR.
2. Work down the menus. The multi-select fields (symptoms, therapeutic interventions, MSE findings) join themselves into a sentence.
3. Dates take care of themselves: today on the note, the next appointment two weeks out, your name and the date on the signature line.

Progress notes, session notes, counseling notes, whatever your EHR calls them, these work anywhere you type.
