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.

Built for therapy from day one rather than retrofitted from a generic medical scribe. SOAP, DAP, BIRP, GIRP and a handful of therapy-specific templates ship out of the box, treatment-plan drafting is genuinely useful, and telehealth capture works inside the same browser session as the call. HIPAA-aligned with a BAA, audio is not retained by default once the note is generated, and the company states it does not train models on customer session data. Pricing is published and starts with a real free tier rather than a 7-day trial. The main trade-off is depth of EHR integration: writing back into SimplePractice / TherapyNotes is mostly copy-paste today.

Pick Nabla Copilot if you need psychiatrists in larger health systems already evaluating nabla for primary care. Pick Upheal if you need private-practice therapists who want progress notes in their preferred format with minimal cleanup. Verify on a live session before committing — both publish trials or free tiers worth using.
