A physician who's been in therapy built this — here's why

I've sat on both sides of the mental health equation — as a physician who understands clinical care, and as someone who has personally been in therapy. I kept running into the same frustrating problem: I'd leave a session feeling clear and motivated, then forget most of what we talked about within 48 hours.

My therapist couldn't hold every detail either. That space between sessions — where insights fade and action items get lost — is where real progress should happen but usually doesn't.

So I built TheraNotes — an AI-powered therapy journal that records your sessions and reflections, transcribes them, and turns them into structured notes, emotional patterns, themes, wins, and action items. It's the layer between your therapy sessions and your actual growth.

What makes it different:

Records therapy sessions or personal voice reflections
AI generates summaries, insights, themes & emotional patterns automatically
Tracks goals and action items connected to your sessions
Built with privacy first — biometric lock, data encryption, secure storage
Works as a companion between sessions, not just a recorder

We're launching soon and I'd love your feedback: What would make an AI therapy journal something you'd actually use? What's missing from the tools out there today?

What a great idea! I’m a huge fan of therapy and been doing it for years. Plus for context spent time in the health tech space so definitely resonating with what you’re doing. I wonder if there’s a way after processing all that information to inspire action for the user so that Theranotes can either inspire action and or help sustain and repeat that new learned behavior. I say this because all I hear in my head is my therapist saying “you can go to therapy all you want, but what does it mean if you do nothing about it?”
