How our journey began

I believe everyone deserves high quality therapy. The problem was, as a therapist in training, I did not think I was giving it. To make matters worse, I hated progress notes. When I slogged through the time-consuming notes, I was reminded of all the things I did not know.

Even as a licensed therapist, I wanted to be a better therapist. I wanted to remove the immense barriers to providing informed and competent care in a timely way. I knew I needed help and so asked my software developer friend to help. Philip’s diligence and commitment to excellence gave the program life. I dissected scores of books, articles, and conducted interviews while Philip spent many a long night in the programming dungeon.

Chronicler is the result.

We’re childhood friends transforming the mental health software space. Andrew brings the clinical language and Philip writes it into code.

  • Founder

    Andrew is the therapist half of Chronicler. When not seeing clients, he’s often engaged in ttrpgs, binging podcasts, or theology discussions.

  • Co-founder

    Philip is the technical side of Chronicler. When not exercising his coding skills, he’s writing code, oh wait, that’s the same thing. Besides that he’s writing music or reading.

Our Mission

We're committed to making therapy more accessible and improving quality by introducing tools like our progress notes creator, Chronicler, as a first step in revolutionizing the therapy field.

What Other Therapists Are Saying

  • AJ Spatz

    Chronicler has helped me write thorough, effective, and consistent progress notes, and it helps me do so in less time than writing my notes by hand or even by using templates.

    I use Chronicler to quickly create complete progress notes, and I then copy these notes into my EHR platform with just a click. I have setup Chronicler to include my most used modalities (EMDR, CBT, and IFS), to present my notes in DAP format, and I have added custom interventions to match my own approach to counseling.

    Not only does this tool help me better utilize my time, but support for Chronicler has regularly been fast to respond and willing to accept and implement feedback. I highly recommend Chronicler to any therapist!

  • JoAnne Singh, LMHC

    I am so grateful to have found Therapy Shelf. It has been a game-changer for me. I have worked as a therapist for 16 years and this is the first time in my life that I feel in control of my progress notes.

    I use to drag my feet to begin the process of writing progress notes because I knew that it would take hours to complete. I would end up using my Saturday morning to write my progress notes. On most days, I am now able to complete my notes on the day of the session. Getting my notes completed quicker is such a mental relief.

    In addition, I own a group practice where I supervise my employees and I have obtained a Therapy Shelf subscription. With Therapy Shelf, I feel more secure that if I am audited by an insurance company the notes in my group practice will have a substantial amount of information to be more likely to meet the requirements of the audit.

We’re here to guide you through the progress notes journey, because even therapists need help sometimes.
