Summarizing Session Notes with Copilot for Therapists

Therapy involves collaboration between a therapist and a person seeking guidance. It offers a secure and supportive environment where individuals can discuss their thoughts, feelings, and actions, address personal obstacles, and build resilience, communication abilities, and general well-being.

Therapy methods are always changing based on new findings in psychology, how the brain works, and how society is changing. Therapists are always improving their methods by using ways that have been proven to work and meet new needs.

Therapy is a team effort where individuals delve into their challenges, find ways to manage them, and grow. As society changes and new knowledge emerges, therapy adapts as well. Therapists might face challenges such as high demand and limited resources. Microsoft 365’s Copilot tool can help them overcome these challenges by making documentation easier, improving communication, and providing access to the latest research. This helps therapists deliver high-quality mental health services.
