Episode 56: Notes & Other Private Practice Paperwork Made EASY [featuring Maelisa McCaffrey]
Writing notes and doing other private practice paperwork can be a HUGE stressor for therapists, but what if it didn't actually have to be tedious, hard, or take hours of precious time?
It's no secret that writing notes have become a sore point for a lot of therapists (and even has been a factor in therapists leaving the profession), but my guest in this episode, Maelisa McCaffrey, has created a simple and stress-free way to manage all private practice paperwork that has helped many therapists get on track and free up their time.
In this episode, I talk with Maelisa McCaffrey, owner of QA Prep and a psychologist, about her journey into creating a simple way to manage and simplify the note-taking process in private practice (and possibly even make it fun). We also talk about how to manage all the paperwork with a neurodivergent brain and stay on schedule to spend less time doing notes and more time resting and finding work-life balance.
