Less admin.
Better notes. Client data stays local.
Local AI for mental health professionals. Session notes, referrals, and scheduling support - with no client data processed outside your machine.
The reality
Therapists and counsellors are ethically and legally bound to protect the confidentiality of client disclosures. Using cloud AI tools to write session notes means sending sensitive mental health information to external servers. That is a hard ethical line for most practitioners.
How Skales helps
Clinical documentation support that never leaves your practice premises.
Session notes in your format
Dictate or type rough notes after a session. Skales structures them into SOAP, DAP, or any format you specify - consistent, complete, and ready to file. No cloud, no storage outside your machine.
Client data never leaves your device
All client information, session content, and notes are processed locally. There is no server receiving your data, no third-party storage, and no data processing agreement to negotiate with a vendor.
Scheduling and reminders
Ask Skales to draft appointment confirmation emails or reminder messages for clients. You review and send from your own email. Skales does not access your calendar or contact list without permission.
Treatment planning support
Describe a presenting problem and ask Skales to outline evidence-based intervention options or generate session plan ideas. Use it as a thinking partner, not a replacement for clinical judgement.
Referral and discharge summaries
Draft referral letters and discharge summaries from your notes. Specify the format required by the receiving practitioner and Skales structures the content accordingly. Edit before sending.
Compliant by architecture
Because Skales runs locally, there is no data processor relationship, no Article 28 GDPR agreement, and no HIPAA Business Associate Agreement needed. Compliance is simpler when data does not leave the room.
“I can finally write notes in 5 minutes, not 20 - without worrying about where that information goes.”
