For many therapists, handwritten notes hold history. Margins get filled with quick observations, and paper folders fill filing cabinets. There is comfort in what is familiar. At the same time, modern therapy documentation and compliance regulations ask for something different.
Owl Practice helps you bridge the gap. With these digital documentation therapy practice tools, you can take notes in ways that work for you while remaining fully compliant.
Paper or Digital?
Paper notes need to be filed, and in some cases, details must be rewritten. Finding a past note can interrupt the flow of a session day.
For many mental health professionals, the transition from handwritten to digital therapy notes offers a new solution. Digital record-keeping for therapists allows session details to be captured clearly, organized consistently, and accessed when needed without breaking focus.
Do You Need to Choose?
What if you could keep the best of both digital and paper notes? With Owl Practice, taking notes is as simple as opening a notebook. Templates keep you organized and you can even choose to hand-write and add visuals with a stylus, if you prefer. Your written notes are automatically filed and easy to retrieve.
Stay Organized
Modern therapy documentation can help you identify patterns across sessions, connect themes, and track progress without having to flip through folders. Tags, searchable entries, and linked documents keep information connected in a way paper never quite could.
Protect Privacy
Digital documentation should feel reassuring, and a well-designed system supports secure record keeping while keeping the focus on ease and accessibility rather than fear.
For Canadian mental health professionals, having tools built with PHIPA in mind adds peace of mind. Owl Practice complies with PHIPA requirements by updating a version of notes every 60 seconds. For security, notes are locked once they are signed.
