writing notes is hard. You're not quite sure what to say and how to say it, and by the time you look up from your computer your next client is here and you're stuck with a half written note. Now, times that by 5-9 clients per day! Ufff.
Or maybe you convince yourself that you will do it "later". You end up cramming all this paperwork into late nights, weekends, or even before your first appointment of the day. Seriously, what would that number look like if you started calculating all the lost hours in just one week, let alone your whole career! It seems like no matter how hard you work you just can't get on top of your notes. You're stuck with feelings of overwhelm, guilt, and avoidance. As much as you try, you can't figure out how to make it better. |

A way to get your notes done on time, within your work day.
Yes, I said it - completely within your workday. You can leave the office knowing you can come in to work with a clean slate in the morning. Let me share my years of note writing experience with you to help you learn how to write efficient and effortless notes in between sessions without adding hours to your work week to keep up. Imagine how different your practice would be if you left the office on time with notes complete? Imagine how it would impact your stress levels and overwhelm to be confident that what you have in your note is in compliance with insurance standards. How would that impact how you show up in your work with clients, and how would it spill over into your personal life? What would you do with more time to do the things that work for you? Less stress and emotional overwhelm? |

Once you get clear about what is getting in the way, the course will hold your hand (and cheer you on) through the exact steps to integrate your notes into your therapy day - without the extra hours, hassle, and headache. |

5 minutes is the sweet spot to ensure that you write an ethical and competent note and can easily be achieved between sessions, even if you are billing for a one hour session! When you can write a quality note in between sessions, the session gets tucked and filed away in your brain and you are actually MORE ready to see your next client.
How long does it take me to write notes on average? Under 3 minutes. AND I know I am not special. I was not graced with some super-human note writing ability. Over the years I have developed the clarity and systems to get my notes done in between sessions, and I want to share these with you! I know what life can hold when you redefine your relationship with your notes! Now, sometimes notes will be 6 minutes, maybe 7 - BUT with these proven strategies and systems you will be able to significantly decrease the amount of time you spend on your notes AND figure out what works for you to get your notes done, within your normal work day! |

You want to be able to leave the office on time with the freedom of knowing your notes are done. You want to be able to kick back and relax during your nights and weekends without the pressure of paperwork looming over you. You want to have peace as you enter your workday without the guilt and the "shoulds" regarding your paperwork.
You want to have clarity throughout your workday without your brain having to work so hard to remember what is done, what needs to be done, and avoid those "oh crap" moments when you realize you completely forgot to do some notes from a week, month, or more ago! Ooops. |

Think about how much time you are leaving on the table each week because of your notes. Could you schedule more clients and increase your income? Spend more time on self care and become a therapist who is more effective and centered during session? Be more present and have more energy for your family? What would all of that be worth?
If you could schedule an extra 2 or 3 clients ONE TIME, yes one time, in the course of your entire career...this course pays for itself! But what if you got back 2-3 hours per week? For the rest of your career? You CAN afford this and you CAN get your nights, mornings, and weekends back! Redefine your relationship with your notes and invest in yourself!

Q: I'm so overwhelmed! I can't even keep on top of my regular notes - how in the heck am I going to find time for this?
A: I get it! That's why the beginning of this course will hold your hand through how to create space for the work within this course. You will get a clear plan of how to work through the course in a way that works for you! I also have made the modules in small bites that are easily digestible - it gets right to the point with no fluff! And a little truth? If you don't invest this time in your note taking practice now, I guarantee you that you will have significantly more time (and money) out the window just in the next several weeks, let alone the time lost in the next year! Investing the time up front will lead to BIG payouts in the end! Your mental health and free time are totally worth the investment! Q: BUT how much time do I really need to set aside each day? A: Each day includes both a video lesson and personalized worksheets. Videos are a couple minutes to up to 20 minutes, with the reflection and personalized worksheets. Some days will be 20 minutes others may be 45. The first days of the course will give you the structure to figure out when this time will work for you! Q: Wait...I have to do worksheets? You aren't just going to tell me what to write? A: I always say that no two therapists will have identical notes. Your notes are like fingerprints - unique to your therapeutic style, population, theory, state, and agency. The therapist from Minnesota who takes state insurance may have different requirements than the therapists from California who is private pay. This program will teach you how to write notes for YOU, which makes sense why the program is a balance of video and teaching content and reflection! And don't worry I have my template worksheet full of keywords and will teach you my two part system for writing accurate and seamless progress note sentences! Q: Do I have to do all 10 days in a row? A: No worries! You can spend more than one day on each module and go to the next when you feel ready! This is especially true if you have a part time practice OR are in a busy season! Q: Do I get CE credits for this? A: No test, no CEs, just pure professional development! Q: If I take this course am I guaranteed to write all my notes in under 5 minutes? A: If you have been a therapist for more than a minute you know that some sessions, well....hit the fan. There are some specific sessions or times when you need to go over or write a more detailed note! The 5 minute note program has a TON of support including a special section for how to catch back up when you ethically need to write a longer note AND how to keep time boundaries with your clients to make sure you end sessions on time to create space to write your note. The 5 Minute note program is also packed with strategies and templates to significantly decrease the amount of time you spend on writing notes so that you can fit them in your work day. The seamless scheduling system is my favorite BUT we will cover many others to help you write those notes between the time you come in the door and when you head out for the day. My notes? Most are under three minutes. Q: Is this course live? Do I need to login at certain times? A: Train when it works for you, at your own pace! Q: Do I lose access to the course after the 10 days? A: You have unlimited access to the course for the lifetime of the course! You can go back to modules when you need a "tune up" , to re-print cheat sheets, or to access the resetting script for between clients (on those days you really need it!). PLUS you get any extra bonuses, tweaks, or fresh content that may get added over the lifetime of the course! Any other questions I didn't answer? Let's talk! email me at [email protected] |

Any therapist can shrink their note writing time with The 5 Minute Note and stop doing notes during their free time. This is a system that has worked for me, for others, and it can work for you too.
So, here’s what you and I both know, one year from today you will still be writing progress notes. The question becomes will it still be a process filled with stress and done during your nights and weekends? That is your decision to make now. |
