Question 1

What is Psychostic?

Accepted Answer

Psychostic is a clinical documentation and practice workflow platform designed specifically for mental health professionals. It helps you capture sessions, generate structured documentation, manage client records, and track outcomes — all in one place.

Question 2

Who is this platform for?

Accepted Answer

Psychostic is built for clinical psychologists, therapists, counselors, and other mental health professionals who want to reduce administrative burden and spend more time with their clients. Whether you're in private practice or part of a larger organization, our tools adapt to your workflow.

Question 3

What are the different ways I can document a session?

Accepted Answer

Psychostic supports five input methods: (1) type notes manually in a structured workspace, (2) record in-person sessions using your microphone, (3) upload a photo of handwritten notes for AI-powered OCR, (4) conduct a video session directly inside Psychostic with automatic recording, and (5) upload external audio or video recordings from platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, or WhatsApp. All methods feed into the same AI documentation pipeline.

Question 4

How do video sessions work inside Psychostic?

Accepted Answer

You can run HIPAA-aligned video sessions directly inside the platform. Simply share a session link with your client via WhatsApp, email, or SMS. The session is recorded automatically, and once it ends, Psychostic generates a transcript and AI clinical summary — no extra tools or steps required.

Question 5

Can I upload recordings from Zoom or Google Meet?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you already conduct sessions on another platform, you can upload the audio or video recording (up to 50 MB) into Psychostic. The platform will transcribe the recording and generate a structured clinical summary, giving you the same documentation quality regardless of where the session took place.

Question 6

How does the AI assistance work?

Accepted Answer

Our AI transforms your raw session input — whether typed notes, audio recordings, video sessions, or uploaded files — into structured clinical narratives. It can also generate assessment reports using frameworks like 5Ps, CBT, DBT, or IFS. All AI-generated content is presented as a draft for your review and editing before saving.

Question 7

Is my client data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit using industry-standard encryption. We follow HIPAA-aligned security practices and implement strict access controls. Your client data is never used to train AI models, and you retain full ownership of all your information.

Question 8

What clinical frameworks and instruments are supported?

Accepted Answer

We support multiple theoretical frameworks including the 5Ps Formulation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Psychodynamic approaches. For measurement-based care, we include validated instruments like BDI-II, PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, BAI, CORE-OM, DASS-21, OCI-R, OCI-4, and Y-BOCS.

Question 9

Can I use this on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Psychostic is fully responsive and works on any device — desktop, tablet, or smartphone. The mobile experience is optimized for on-the-go access to client information and session documentation.
