Practice Pad - Therapy Notes

Finish the session. Tap Finalize. Done. Practice Pad is the clinical documentation app built by a licensed counselor for therapists who handwrite their notes. Capture them by hand with Apple Pencil and they become finished, signed clinical documentation — no retyping, no double work.

It does one thing exceptionally well: turn your handwriting into a clean clinical record, then get out of your way. Plans start at $15/month with a 14-day free trial. Practice Pad is a documentation tool, not an EHR — no scheduling, billing, or client portal, by design.
