AI Tools for TherapistsBuilt by a Therapist, Not a Tech Company
Reframe is a therapist AI toolkit for the moments that actually eat your day: worksheet creation, SOAP documentation, session prep, and post-session refinement. Good. You should be skeptical about AI. That is exactly why this stack was built for clinical workflow first, not hype.
The problem with AI in therapy
Most tools are generic assistants. They do not understand case consultation language, modality alignment, or documentation pressure.
Recording-first workflows add consent overhead and privacy risk. Reframe is text-input first so clinical intent stays with the therapist.
Static template libraries save less time than expected because you still rewrite everything. Reframe generates personalized drafts in your workflow.
