AI for Psychiatrists Providing Psychotherapy (MD, DO)
Psychiatrists bring a unique perspective to psychotherapy, one grounded in medical training, diagnostic rigor, and accountability. When psychotherapy occurs as part of a broader psychiatric encounter, documentation and billing become more complex.
TheraPro AI is designed specifically to support the psychotherapy portion of psychiatric care.
Our AI for psychiatrists helps document psychotherapy accurately, distinguish it from medication management, and support defensible clinical and billing decisions, without interfering with clinical judgment or medical practice.
Who This Is For (and What It's Not)
TheraPro's AI for psychiatrists is for psychiatrists who provide psychotherapy, including cases where psychotherapy and medication management occur in the same visit.
TheraPro AI:
- Supports psychotherapy documentation only
- Does not perform medication management
- Does not replace your EHR
- Does not assign diagnoses or billing codes
TheraPro AI exists to support clarity, efficiency, and defensibility when psychiatrists are practicing psychotherapy.
Why Psychotherapy Documentation Is Especially Challenging for Psychiatrists
Psychiatrists often conduct mixed encounters that include:
- Medication management
- Brief check-ins or clinical updates
- Rapport-building
- Psychotherapy
From a documentation and billing standpoint, this creates real challenges:
- Determining whether psychotherapy occurred
- Estimating how much time was spent on psychotherapy
- Supporting psychotherapy add-on CPT codes
- Producing documentation that holds up under audit or review
Many psychiatrists respond by under-documenting, or under-billing, simply to avoid risk.
How AI for Psychiatrists Should Actually Help
For psychiatrists, AI must be:
- Precise
- Transparent
- Scope-limited
- Clinician-controlled
TheraPro is built to provide decision support, not automation of medical judgment.
How Therapro AI Supports Psychiatrists
TheraPro is designed to support psychiatrists when they are doing psychotherapy, and to do so in a way that respects medical boundaries and compliance requirements.
Psychotherapy Detection and Time Attribution
TheraPro can analyze an entire psychiatric encounter and identify when psychotherapy is occurring, as distinct from:
- Medication management
- Non-therapeutic discussion
- Administrative or rapport-building time
Based on this analysis, TheraPro:
- Estimates the total amount of psychotherapy time within the visit
- Makes a transcript available so the clinician can review exactly which portions were identified as psychotherapy
- Provides supporting documentation that may be useful for billing review or audit preparation
TheraPro does not assign CPT codes and does not make billing decisions. It provides transparent, reviewable information so psychiatrists (or their billing teams) can make informed, defensible choices.
Psychotherapy-Focused Documentation
TheraPro generates documentation for the psychotherapy portion of the encounter only, not medical documentation.
It does not attempt to document:
- Medication decisions
- Physical exams
- Vitals or labs
- Broader medical management
This clear separation helps ensure notes remain clinically appropriate, concise, and defensible.
Diagnostic Assistance (Clinician-Led)
Psychiatrists are trained to think diagnostically. TheraPro is designed to support that process, without replacing it.
TheraPro's Diagnostic Assistance feature can:
- Generate multiple diagnostic considerations based on session content or broader client context
- Provide reasoning associated with each consideration
- Highlight areas where additional information may help rule diagnoses in or out
The psychiatrist remains fully in control. TheraPro does not assign diagnoses, it supports clinical reasoning.
Treatment Planning Support
Once a diagnosis has been assigned by the clinician, TheraPro can assist with treatment planning by suggesting:
- Potential treatment goals linked to the diagnosis
- Evidence-aligned interventions
- Clear connections between diagnosis, goals, and therapeutic work
Multiple options are provided so the psychiatrist can review, select, modify, or discard suggestions as appropriate.
Automated Detection of Psychotherapy Modalities and Interventions
TheraPro can automatically identify the psychotherapy modalities and interventions used during a session, such as:
- Psychodynamic therapy
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Supportive psychotherapy
- Skills-based or psychoeducational work
Among many others. This reduces the need for manual labeling while ensuring documentation accurately reflects the therapeutic work performed.
Post-Session Workflow
TheraPro is used after the encounter.
It does not interrupt sessions, prompt clinicians during care, or interfere with the therapeutic or medical relationship.
Who TheraPro AI Is Best Suited For

- Psychiatrists providing psychotherapy alongside medication management
- Outpatient psychiatry practices
