Frequently Asked Questions
General
Quill is an AI-powered tool that helps therapists create clinical documentation quickly and ethically. We work from your post-session summary -- never session recordings -- to generate notes in your preferred format.
Quill transforms your clinical observations into professional documentation using responsible AI. Simply provide a brief summary you provide after the session ends -- never from a recording of the therapy session itself. This approach protects client privacy while saving you significant time on documentation. Try it free and see if it's for you!
Watch out, though -- there are other companies that want you to record your entire therapy session in order to achieve the same outcome, introducing an unnecessary privacy and ethical risk.
Using Quill takes a few minutes per session:
- After your session ends, record or type a brief summary of what happened in the session, your observations, next steps, etc.
- Click "Generate Note" and Quill creates your documentation in seconds.
- Review, edit as needed, and copy/paste into your EHR.
It's that easy.
Quill works with all licensed mental health professionals and therapy modalities. This includes therapists, counselors, psychologists, social workers, and marriage and family therapists. We support all settings (private practice, group practice, agency, hospital) and all modalities (CBT, DBT, EMDR, and more).
Quill formats the clinical information you provide, so it works with any therapeutic approach. Get started free and give it a try.
Here's the biggest one: Quill never records your sessions. You provide a brief summary after the session ends, which protects client privacy and keeps you fully present during therapy.
Privacy is super important to us -- and of course to the therapist and the client! We're HIPAA compliant and we don't even store your notes or summaries after generation.
We're family-owned and built by a therapist and developer married couple, Jen and Jon. Our privacy-first approach means no session recordings ever. Learn more about our commitment to privacy.
No, Quill works alongside your existing EHR system. Quill generates notes as text that you copy and paste into your EHR. This makes Quill compatible with every EHR platform -- even paper-based systems. Your EHR remains your official record system; Quill simply helps you create the documentation faster.
Therapists consistently report that Quill saves them hours each week on documentation, reduces burnout, and significantly improves their work-life balance. Many say it's helped them stay in the field longer and spend more energy on clinical work (and their personal life!) rather than paperwork. Read therapist reviews or try it yourself.
The concept of Quill was dreamed up by Jen and Jon. (Note: It was mostly Jen.) They are married, but probably more relevant, Jen is a therapist and Jon is a software developer. As Jon was inventing various tools with AI, Jen thought, hey, that would be super useful for my notes too! A proof-of-concept was developed, and after many colleagues also wanted to use it, Quill was built and launched!
(We hope you like it as much as Jen and lots of other therapists do!)
