About this template

The GIRP template is a structured format used by therapists to document therapy sessions comprehensively. It stands for Goals, Interventions, Response, and Plan, providing a clear framework for capturing session details, client progress, and future treatment steps. This template is ideal for mental health professionals seeking to maintain detailed records of therapeutic interactions, ensuring continuity of care and facilitating treatment planning. When used with Heidi, the AI medical scribe, it allows for efficient and accurate documentation, enhancing the therapist's ability to focus on client care. This template is particularly useful for creating therapy progress notes.
