Admin load stalled therapists and our growth

HelloSelf is a tele-therapy startup connecting mental health patients to therapists. As we explored AI-powered features for patients, we uncovered an urgent opportunity: therapists were overwhelmed with clinical admin, especially note-taking. Many were writing notes after hours, from memory, and under pressure. This wasn’t just a user problem—it was a strategic one. If we could solve it well, we could drive daily adoption of HelloSelf tools and grow our clinical network.

The summaries helped me stay clinically accurate without the admin overload. Once I saw how accurate they were, I felt confident using them to help me write my notes—and even more comfortable offering summaries to patients.

- Clinical Psychologist

Summaries save time, reduce pressure, and hit the right tone. I was surprised by how accurate they were. Now I’m more confident letting patients access them—it’s boosted engagement between sessions.

Integrating AI into everyday clinical practice

Desired outcome

Provide therapists a more efficient way to write clinical notes using AI—while keeping them in the driver’s seat—so their workflow improves and they’re more likely to advocate our platform.

BEFORE: Previous Workstation

The previous design felt cluttered and did not incorporate AI-tooling to help Therapists write clinical notes.

AFTER: Updated AI-powered Workstation

AFTER: Updated AI-powered Workstation

I redesigned the therapist workstation UX/UI to embed both Therapy and Clinical summaries—making the experience feel clear and grounded in therapist-control. I also designed a feedback loop to let therapists rate summaries, helping improve our model quality over time.
