The problem
Therapists spending 20% of their clinical hours on documentation because your notes system isn't built for mental health workflows?
New patients sitting on a waitlist for weeks while your scheduling and intake process runs on email and spreadsheets?
Short answer
RaftLabs builds custom mental health software for therapy practices, digital mental health companies, and behavioral health organisations. Deliverables include HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 teletherapy platforms, clinical notes and EHR, scheduling and intake, standardised outcome tools (PHQ-9, GAD-7), e-prescribing, group sessions, crisis workflows, and insurance billing. A focused v1 launches in about 12 to 16 weeks at a fixed cost agreed before work starts.
01 Diagnosis
Intake paperwork slowing first-session onboarding and delaying the start of care
When intake forms arrive as PDFs by email, clients complete them on paper or not at all. The first session starts with an admin review rather than a clinical conversation. Therapists enter intake data manually after the session. The onboarding experience sets the tone for the entire care relationship. A paper-based process sets the wrong one.
Billing and insurance claim errors causing delayed payment and unpredictable revenue
Mental health billing requires correct CPT code application by session type, duration, and modality, including telehealth modifiers. When billing runs manually or in a system not built for mental health, coding errors produce claim rejections. Payment timelines stretch weeks past service delivery. That cash-flow gap is a direct cost of the wrong tool.
Progress notes stored in disconnected systems with no structured search or clinical continuity
When session notes live in separate documents, shared drives, or a generic EHR not built for mental health, therapists can't find what they need before the next session. Continuity of care depends on the therapist's memory rather than a structured clinical record. In Tebra's 2025 Physician Burnout Survey, 77% of therapists reported mental fatigue, the highest rate of any specialty surveyed, and documentation and charting was the single most-cited driver. Supervision and audit reviews become manual searches through unstructured files.
Teletherapy sessions conducted on consumer video tools that aren't HIPAA-compliant
Zoom, FaceTime, and Google Meet aren't HIPAA-compliant without a signed BAA and specific configuration. Practices using general-purpose video tools for therapy sessions carry regulatory risk they may not have assessed. Clients also see a fragmented experience: one tool for video, another for scheduling, another for the clinical record. That friction costs no-shows and early drop-offs.
02 What we ship
End-to-end teletherapy platforms with HIPAA-compliant video sessions, in-platform secure messaging between sessions, session scheduling, and integrated clinical notes. Video infrastructure that meets HIPAA requirements, not a general-purpose tool bolted onto your records system. Patients get mobile and web apps for session access, appointment management, and between-session journaling. The therapist workflow is built around the session: pre-session notes review, in-session tools, and post-session documentation without switching systems.
Clinical records built to HIPAA standards with encrypted storage, role-based access, audit logging, and BAA-compliant infrastructure. Mental health-specific note templates cover progress notes, SOAP notes, intake assessments, treatment plan documentation, and discharge summaries, built for the note types your clinicians actually write. Voice-to-text transcription for session notes includes clinician review and approval before the record is finalised. Structured note fields handle ICD-10 diagnostic coding, treatment modality, session type, and presenting concerns. For prescribers, e-prescribing with EPCS support handles the controlled substances common in psychiatry. Substance use disorder records are segmented to meet 42 CFR Part 2 consent-to-disclose rules, not just HIPAA. Secure document management covers releases, consent forms, and referral correspondence.
Scheduling built for therapy practice logistics: provider availability by session type and modality, recurring appointment management, and cancellation and rescheduling with automated patient notification. Waitlist management sorts by urgency, insurance, and wait time, not a manual email list. Automated intake delivery at the point of scheduling sends consent forms, insurance information requests, intake questionnaires, and standardised measures before the first session. Insurance eligibility verification is built into the scheduling workflow so you know coverage status before the appointment.
Standardised outcome measures, including PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale, and your custom instruments, are delivered to patients on a defined schedule and collected digitally before or after sessions. Scoring is automatic, with trend visualisation in the clinician's dashboard. Outcome data appears in the session note workflow so the clinician sees current scores alongside historical trends when writing notes. Population-level outcome reporting supports practices reporting to payers, accreditation bodies, or commissioners. Alert logic flags clinically significant score changes: PHQ-9 item 9 positive responses and GAD-7 severity threshold breaches surface automatically.
Group therapy management covers distinct session types, group composition management, and per-session attendance tracking. Group note templates support individual member progress notation within a shared session record. Billing logic applies correct CPT codes, manages group versus individual rates, and tracks insurance pre-authorisation for group treatment. Waitlist management for popular groups sends automated notification when a spot opens. Co-facilitation support handles groups with two clinicians and separate documentation responsibilities.
Mental health billing with correct CPT code application for session types, modalities, and durations, including telehealth modifier requirements. Electronic claim submission includes real-time status tracking and ERA processing for automatic payment posting. Pre-authorisation management covers session limits and treatment plan reviews. Patient billing handles statement generation and online payment. Care coordination tools for multidisciplinary teams include secure provider messaging, referral management, and shared care plan documentation. Crisis escalation workflows include documented safety planning, emergency contact notification, and higher-level care referral pathways.

07 Why us
08 Questions
Established platforms handle core scheduling, notes, and billing well for most independent and small group practices. Custom software earns its cost in a few specific situations. You deliver care across modalities and locations that platform configurations can't support. You need outcome measurement built into the clinical workflow rather than bolted on. You're building a digital mental health product that reaches patients outside a traditional practice model. You need crisis escalation workflows connected to clinical records. Or your billing complexity runs past what the platform handles: multiple payers, group therapy authorisation, and employee assistance programme billing. For a solo therapist or standard group practice, established platforms are the right answer. For behavioural health organisations with clinical complexity, custom development pays for itself in staff time and clinical quality.
HIPAA compliance for mental health software requires the same technical foundations as general healthcare: encrypted storage, role-based access, audit logs, BAA-compliant infrastructure. Mental health records carry stricter disclosure protections in many US states, so we design for that additional sensitivity from the first sprint. We build on HIPAA-eligible AWS or Google Cloud infrastructure with executed BAA agreements, implement encryption in transit and at rest, maintain full audit logs, and design access controls so clinicians see only the records they're authorised to access. For teletherapy video, we use HIPAA-compliant video infrastructure rather than general-purpose tools. We're not a HIPAA compliance consultant. Your legal and compliance team should review the full requirements. Our architecture provides the technical foundation; your policies and training complete the programme.
Yes. Integration scope depends on what APIs your existing system exposes. We've integrated with EHR platforms that provide FHIR-compliant APIs and with practice management systems that offer data export. Outcome measurement integration, delivering PHQ-9 and GAD-7 to patients and pulling scored results back into your clinical record, can be built as a standalone module that integrates with your current system or as part of a broader platform build. The specific approach depends on your current stack and what you're trying to avoid replacing. We scope the integration feasibility during discovery before committing to what's possible.
A focused v1 teletherapy platform with HIPAA-compliant video, scheduling, and clinical notes launches in about 12 to 16 weeks and typically runs $45,000 to $80,000. A full platform adding EHR, outcome measurement, group session management, and insurance billing runs $90,000 to $160,000 and continues as an ongoing build. Organisations with complex multi-site or payer requirements are scoped individually. Every project is priced at fixed cost, agreed before development starts, with no hourly billing.
