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. More about Maelisa McCaffrey, Psy.D.: Dr. Maelisa McCaffrey is a licensed psychologist, nail design enthusiast, and multi-passionate entrepreneur. With her business QA Prep, she empowers therapists through trainings and consultation on clinical documentation. Maelisa focuses on the “why” behind the usual recommendations and encourages clinicians to think outside the box while also keeping their ethics intact. As someone with ADHD who’s had to figure out what works through trial and error, Maelisa aims to make sure her trainings are practical, while also allowing for plenty of laughter and fun.
