AI scribe for eating disorder therapists
Facts checked on 16 October 2026.
MentalNote is an AI scribe for eating disorder therapists: record individual or family sessions in your browser and get a DAP, BIRP, GIRP, SOAP or Progress draft that captures behaviors, meal plan work and treatment team plans only as they were discussed, on a free plan or Premium at $99 a month, with a BAA on every plan.
Eating disorder sessions pack a lot into an hour: behaviors since last week, the meal plan, body image work, a check-in with a parent or partner, and what the dietitian or physician needs to know. MentalNote listens to the session (with your client's consent) and drafts the note in your format, so the details are on the page while they are fresh. You review it, edit it and paste it into your EHR.
5 free scribe sessions a month. No credit card. BAA on every plan.
The short answer
- Record the session in your browser, in the room or on a telehealth call in a browser tab, and get a draft note when the session ends.
- Pick the format you chart in: DAP, BIRP, GIRP, SOAP, PIRP, Progress, Intake / Biopsychosocial or Treatment Plan, or your own structure with custom instructions.
- It is told not to fill gaps. The app instructs the AI to write "Not documented in session" for anything the session did not cover, and not to add a denial, a diagnosis or a risk rating you did not state. Check every draft.
- Start free: 5 scribe sessions a month, no time limit, no credit card. Premium is $99 a month or $990 a year.
- MentalNote is HIPAA-compliant, with a BAA included on every plan, the free plan too. Many AI scribes offer only a time-limited trial.
Who it is for
Solo clinicians and small practices that want to sign up today, pay a published price and start without a sales call or an IT project. Premium is for solo clinicians. Practices can apply for the Practice Pilot.
Built for eating disorder treatment
- Behaviors as reported: binge, purge, restriction or exercise frequency appears only as the client or clinician stated it. The app tells the AI never to invent numbers.
- No weights or vitals made up: if a weight, vital sign or lab came up in session, it can appear in the note; if not, it stays out.
- Family sessions: speaker labels keep the client's and parents' words apart, useful for family-based treatment.
- Team coordination: the plan section records what you agreed to share with the dietitian, physician or psychiatrist, as discussed.
- Your own structure: save one custom format (up to 500 characters) with headings such as behaviors, meal plan, body image, team and plan.

What a DAP draft looks like
A human-written, shortened illustration based on a fictional session (no real client). It is not verbatim app output, and your drafts will vary with what is said.
Fictional example: Session 9, binge eating disorder, CBT-E informed (DAP)
Data
Client reports 2 binge episodes this week, down from 4 last week, both in the evening after skipping lunch. Ate 3 meals and 2 snacks on 5 of 7 days per her food log. States: "When I eat lunch, the nights are so much easier."
Reviewed the log together and linked both binges to skipped lunches on busy work days.
Assessment
Regular eating is reducing binge frequency. Restriction at lunch on work days is the main trigger.
Plan
Continue weekly sessions. Client to pack lunch the night before on workdays. Client agreed to share the food log with her dietitian before their next appointment.
Risk content is not in this draft because it was not discussed in this fictional session. MentalNote is instructed never to write "denies SI" for a question you did not ask.
What stays your call
MentalNote drafts documentation; it does not give medical advice, set a meal plan or judge medical stability. Level of care, medical monitoring and weight targets stay with you and the treatment team. If a weight, lab or medical concern was discussed, check every number in the draft against your source before you sign.
Working with a dietitian? MentalNote also drafts nutrition visit notes for dietitians, and the same BAA covers every plan.
What it will not do
These are instructions the app gives the AI for every therapy note. They are meant to reduce errors, but they are not a guarantee. Review every line.
| What can go wrong | What MentalNote instructs the AI to do |
|---|---|
| A risk statement that was never asked ("denies SI") | Include risk and safety content only if it was explicitly discussed, and never write that the client denied something the session did not ask about. |
| A diagnosis the AI guessed | Give no diagnosis, diagnostic impression or code unless you stated it in the session. |
| An intervention you did not use | Use only what the session contains: no invented interventions, scores, dates or homework. |
| A gap filled with typical content | Write "Not documented in session" for anything the session did not cover. |
How it works
- Confirm you have your client's consent. The web app asks you to confirm it before every recording.
- Record in the browser, in the room or on a telehealth call in another tab.
- When the session ends, choose a format and get the draft, with the speaker-labeled transcript beside it.
- Review and edit every line, then copy or export it into your EHR.
Prefer Microsoft Word? The optional Word add-in drafts a therapy note from a short typed summary, with no recording.
What it costs
| Plan | Price | What you get |

| Premium | $99 a month, or $990 a year ($82.50 a month) | Unlimited note generation, browser app and Word add-in. |

No sales call needed: sign up and choose a plan yourself. MentalNote is HIPAA-compliant, with a BAA included on every plan. You accept the BAA in the app before your first session.
