Verdict

One of the longest-running therapy-specific scribes. Template library is the broadest we tested — couples, family, group, EMDR, CBT, DBT and standard SOAP/DAP/BIRP variants are all available without manual prompting. Note quality on talk-therapy sessions is consistent. HIPAA-aligned with BAA; audio handling and retention are documented. Telehealth capture works via browser extension and dictation. Pricing is published and there is a free trial; the lowest tier is more expensive than the Upheal entry point. EHR integration is still mostly export-based.[1]

Pros of Mentalyc

  • Largest therapy-specific template library tested (CBT, DBT, EMDR, couples, family, group)
  • HIPAA-compliant with BAA; documented audio-retention policy
  • Mature product with multi-year operating history in mental-health-only settings

Cons of Mentalyc

  • Entry pricing is higher than Upheal's free tier
  • Direct EHR write-back is limited; most users export or paste
