Documentation that captures social, environmental, systemic factors—not just individual pathology, full ecological perspective.
Track involvement with multiple systems—child welfare, housing, healthcare, legal—comprehensive case coordination documented.
Language emphasizes client strengths, resilience, capacity—social work values reflected in documentation automatically.
Why social workers need their own documentation
Social work isn't just therapy—it's case management, systems navigation, advocacy, resource coordination. Generic therapy notes miss this.
Different theoretical frameworks
Social workers use person-in-environment, systems theory, ecological perspective—documentation needs to reflect these frameworks, not just DSM-5.
Multi-system coordination
Track client interactions with child welfare, housing, healthcare, legal systems—case management complexity requires specialized documentation.
Professional identity and values
Social work values—strengths-based, client self-determination, social justice—should be evident in documentation language and focus.
Generic therapy notes vs. social work documentation
Most AI therapy tools generate notes using psychology/counseling language—doesn't fit social work practice.

- Individual pathology focus—environmental and systemic factors minimized
- Psychology/counseling terminology—doesn't reflect social work professional identity
- No multi-system tracking—case management complexity not documented
- Deficit-focused language—client strengths and resilience underemphasized
Social work-specific documentation
- Person-in-environment perspective—social, environmental, systemic factors documented
- Social work terminology—reflects LCSW professional language and frameworks
- Multi-system case tracking—child welfare, housing, healthcare coordination documented

“SOMA has been a real time-saver for my practice. The note and report templates are powerful and work really well for my needs - I can generate session summaries and case conceptualizations with just minor tweaks, if any. It's made my documentation process much more efficient and faster.”
Shannon
Counsellor
“With long-term clients, there's a real relationship built over time. I know most people would be very comfortable with it - especially if they're receiving information back on the app and they're not seeing everything else. The consent form really addresses the questions my more cautious clients would have.”
Anonymous
Counsellor
“I think what is special about SOMA is it's effectiveness... Being able to see everything in one go makes the clinical workflow more effective. The ability to have the prep, do the session, and do the follow-up work all in one place - that's really the big selling point for me.”
