Psych is anything but predictable. 

A routine medication check becomes a conversation about childhood trauma. A stable patient arrives in a quiet crisis. Progress shows up in subtle shifts that are hard to measure. 

And somehow, you have to capture it all in a progress note. 

"I have struggled for years with the painful challenge of completing my notes. Freed has changed my life! I am not exaggerating." — Kari Stemm-Wolf, NP-BC, Psychiatric Mental Health

The work is nonlinear. The "data" is narrative. Templated, generic AI notes won’t pull what you need. 

When nuance disappears, trust disappears with it. 

Freed was built with that context in mind.

The accurate, flexible AI scribe you can count on  

AI doesn’t need to think for you. It needs to help capture the work you’re already doing. 

Freed was built knowing that psychiatry documentation can't be one-size-fits-all. Here's what that means in practice.

Visit prep that knows your patients

Walk into each session with a summary of their last few visits, discussed meds, and risk history already pulled. 

Patient context carries forward into each note, so you can accurately capture what’s happening now. 

Templates that think like you do

Upload your own template and train a learned template to write like you. 

DSM + psychodynamic + your preferred MSE format? Done. No rigid notes that don't fit how you work.

Accurate capture of nonlinear conversations

Freed handles conversational histories, emotionally charged narratives, and non-chronological storytelling without flattening the nuance or inventing details. 

Patient letters and referrals, automatically

Generate clear follow-up instructions, care coordination letters, and referrals in plain language without the extra mental load. Your patients leave knowing exactly what to do next.

One-click EHR push 

One click moves your note directly into your EHR. Just review, tweak if needed, and sign.

Why psychiatrists choose Freed

"I can be more present with my patients and provide better care, without being distracted by the requirements of documentation." — Mark M, NP, Psychiatric Mental Health

Security that matches the stakes

Psychiatry notes contain trauma histories, legal assessments, prescription information, and data on family members. The bar for security isn't optional.

Freed gives you:

• Signed BAAs and full HIPAA/HITECH compliance
• Automatic audio deletion after your note is complete (or manual deletion anytime)
• Zero model training on your patient data—your notes stay yours
• SOC 2 Type II certification and FIPS-compliant encryption

You control what's kept and what's deleted.

Protect the therapeutic relationship 

Tools should respect your role as the final arbiter of assessment, diagnosis, and plan. 

Freed’s AI clinician assistant supports clinical thinking by pulling patient details and helpful guidelines to help you build your treatment. And nothing goes into the chart without your review and sign off. 

Preserve nuance and therapeutic language

Language itself is part of the therapeutic framing. Notes need empathy, containment, and professional boundaries — while staying precise. 

Freed lets you set preferred wording, maintain consistent templates, and keep sections appropriately nuanced 

Reducing mental load after emotionally heavy days

"I have two little ones, and now with Freed, I get my evenings back. I'm no longer stuck in the office or sacrificing family time just to catch up on documentation." — Kristy, NP, Psychiatric Mental Health

It’s easy to take your patients home with you. Unresolved paperwork adds more emotional weight, and makes you replay some of your hardest sessions. 

Freed reliably drafts detailed notes, pulls forward context, and streamline letters and follow-ups. So the mental load can stay at work. 

Case study: How one PMHNP reclaimed 7 hours weekly with Freed

Mariah H., a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, spent 20+ minutes per note. She dedicated entire admin days to catch-up and even charted during family vacations. 

With Freed, she records sessions naturally, receives comprehensive mental health notes minutes after each visit, and spends just 1-2 minutes reviewing them. 

"I work smarter, not harder. I like to live life, I don't want to live to work, I want to work to live." — Mariah H., PMHNP

She’s using Freed’s customizable templates, prompted edits through the clinician assistant, and learn format to get notes that sound like her.

Mariah closes her computer when her last patient leaves — and truly enjoys her evenings, weekends, and time off. 

Here’s how Freed helped change her work (and life). 

Your work is complex. Your notes don't have to be.

"I love it so much. Thank you Freed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, as a provider, as a wife, and most importantly, as a mom." — Natalie D, NP, Family & Psychiatric Mental Health
