Generated DAP Note:

Quill generated this note with AI from the summary that was provided. The therapist can then copy-and-paste the note into their current EHR platform.

Data:
Client appeared stressed during our 50-minute virtual session. They reported struggling with the impending financial responsibilities of pregnancy, expressing concern with 'I don’t know how we’re going to afford everything once the baby comes.' Client discussed the accumulating costs of baby preparations and the resultant feelings of being overwhelmed.

Assessment:
Client is experiencing financial stress related to pregnancy preparations. They responded to the intervention of breaking down financial concerns into smaller, manageable tasks and exploring community resources positively, showing signs of reduced anxiety by the end of the session.

Plan:
Assigned homework to client to list immediate needs and investigate local support options. A follow-up session is scheduled for next week to review progress and continue addressing financial planning for the baby’s arrival. The treatment plan will be reassessed based on the client's progress with the homework.

Client Session Summary:

Here's the summary of this client session. Remember, Quill does not record the client session. A therapist would provide a summary (like the one below) after the session is over.

We had a 50-minute virtual session today. Client logged in looking really stressed and said they’ve been struggling with pregnancy and all the financial pressure that comes with it. They said quote 'I don’t know how we’re going to afford everything once the baby comes' unquote. They talked about how the costs of preparing for a baby—like medical bills, baby gear, and everything else—are really starting to add up, and it’s been making them feel overwhelmed.

We spent some time talking about how important it is to take things one step at a time. I suggested breaking down their financial worries into smaller, manageable pieces, like focusing on what they need to prepare before the baby arrives and what can wait until later. We also discussed looking into local resources, like food banks, second-hand stores, and community programs that offer assistance to expectant parents. Their homework is to make a list of their most immediate needs and to explore some of the community resources we talked about. They seemed a bit calmer by the end of the session, like they had a clearer plan. We’ll meet again next week to follow up.
