An AI scribe for mental health professionals

Why Cognivolt is the best AI scribe for mental health professionals

Here is everything you get, point by point.

• A full mental state exam with every note, written from what happened in the session. If the session did not cover something, the note says so instead of guessing "normal".
• A risk assessment with every note, on every plan, with suicidality and red flags shown on their own so they never get lost in a paragraph.
• Your note format: SOAP, DAP, BIRP or a full psychiatric intake, or any format you describe (Standard).
• Psychiatric rating scales built in: PHQ-9, GAD-7, EPDS, GDS-15, C-SSRS, AUDIT, DAST-10, ASRS, SCOFF and AD8, filled in from the session for you to check (Standard).
• Mood trends: every session gets a mood score, and the chart shows how your patient is doing over time.
• Score trends: PHQ-9, GAD-7 and the other scales are charted visit by visit, so you can see if treatment is working (Standard).
• Follow-ups that remember: each session reads the earlier ones, so the note can say what changed.
• Psychoeducation for your patient, written for the diagnosis you confirm (Standard).
• Differential diagnoses to consider, with the evidence for each, for prescribers (Standard).
• Psychotherapy add-on codes for US psychiatrists (90833, 90836, 90838), from the therapy time you confirm.
• No medication advice for psychologists, therapists and counsellors, because you do not prescribe.
• Long sessions are fine: a 90 minute intake is recorded in full and never cut off.
• The audio is deleted as soon as the note is written.

For psychiatrists

Cognivolt writes a real psychiatric intake: past psychiatric history, family history, development, relationships, forensic history and substance use, each in its own place. You get differential diagnoses to think about, with the evidence behind each (Standard). In the US, the psychotherapy add-on code is taken from a fixed table using the therapy time you confirm. The AI never chooses the code.

For psychologists, therapists and counsellors

Your DAP and BIRP notes show the techniques you actually used and how your client responded. Cognivolt never suggests a medicine or a dose to someone who does not prescribe. Where medication might help, it suggests a referral instead.

More than a therapy notes tool

Some tools, like Mentalyc, are made for therapy notes. They offer many note formats and risk detection. As of October 2026, Mentalyc does not list differential diagnosis support, a built-in patient record, psychotherapy add-on codes or a second check of the note against the conversation. Cognivolt has all of these, plus the mental state exam, the risk assessment and the psychiatric rating scales.
