Therapy Note Example

Balancing Family and Career Ambitions

Client is struggling to find balance between career growth and family responsibilities.

Progress Notes:

These therapy notes were written by Quill based on this specific therapy scenario.

Client Session Summary:

The therapy notes listed above were generated based on this summary of a client session. Quill does not record the client session. Hopefully this helps illustrate how Quill works -- a therapist would provide a summary (like this one below) after the session is over, and Quill would then generate a note like one of these examples above.

Client came in for a 60-minute session today at the office, and they were looking really stressed. They said quote 'I feel like I’m failing at everything' unquote and talked about how hard it’s been trying to balance their career ambitions with all the family responsibilities they have. They said whenever they focus on work, they feel guilty about not being there for their family, but when they focus on family, they feel frustrated that they’re not making progress in their career.

We spent some time talking about how hard it can be to juggle both, and that it’s okay to not have it all figured out right away. I suggested maybe trying to set up a weekly schedule that balances work, family, and some personal time, just to make sure they’re not burning out. I told them, you know, it’s important to include time for themselves too, not just work and family, because that’s where a lot of the burnout comes from. They seemed hesitant at first, but after we talked through it a bit more, they agreed that maybe setting aside even just 30 minutes a day for something personal could help.

Their homework is to write out a plan for the week, figuring out what’s most important to them each day, and we’ll see how it goes. By the end of the session, they seemed a little less overwhelmed, like the weight of trying to do everything was starting to lift a bit. We’ll check back next week to see how the plan worked and adjust if needed.
