Nabla Copilot
Nabla is primarily a general-medicine ambient scribe with the strongest compliance stack in the space (HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, ISO 27001) and a real free tier. The mental-health module adds psychiatry-oriented templates. Less suitable for talk-therapy-only workflows because the editor and template library are tuned for medical visits, but a defensible choice for psychiatry inside larger health systems.

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.

Pick Nabla Copilot if you need psychiatrists in larger health systems already evaluating nabla for primary care.
