For Therapists:
Resources for Your Dream Private Practice

Practice with Courage was created to help mental health professionals build the courage to start and grow their own private practices with confidence. The shop offers thoughtfully designed digital tools -- such as progress note templates, documentation guides, and practice-building resources -- that support both clinical excellence and smooth day-to-day operations. Whether you’re just starting out or refining your systems, Practice with Courage is here to make the behind-the-scenes work of therapy feel more manageable, so you can focus on what matters most -- helping clients heal.

Editable Progress Note Template
$10.00

Complete your clinical notes with confidence. This progress note template is designed for mental health professionals who want to document sessions clearly and efficiently. It helps ensure your notes include the key elements auditors look for while significantly reducing the time it takes to complete your documentation.

Created with private practice therapists (LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, psychologists, and other clinicians) in mind, this toolkit ensures your notes meet insurance and audit standards while cutting down the time it takes to complete them.

What's Included:

(1) Progress Note Template Guide: An 8-page guide offering tips for efficient clinical documentation. Covers topics such as session focus, diagnosing, CPT codes, how to document medical necessity, and more.

(2) Printable and Fillable PDFs: Two separate 5-page PDF templates – one for telehealth sessions and one for in-person sessions. Both PDFs are printable and fillable, offering flexible documentation options to suit your workflow. You can print them out and write directly on the provided lines during your sessions, or type into the fillable text fields and check off boxes for quick, paperless notes. Completed forms can be saved and uploaded directly to your EHR system.

(3) Editable Word Document: This is a single downloadable file that includes two 5-page progress note templates – one designed for telehealth sessions and one for in-person sessions. Customize this template to meet your specific documentation needs.

(4) Guided PDF (Non-fillable): This is a single downloadable file that includes two 5-page progress note templates – one for telehealth and one for in-person sessions. Descriptors written in blue guide you through what needs to be documented. Replace these with session-specific details for complete notes.
