WHAT IS TRACKED

Therapeutic Alliance Across 5 Dimensions, 27 Areas

Every session report scores you across these five dimensions. Couples, family, child/play, and group sessions get additional specialized areas automatically.

Therapeutic Framework

Emotional regulation, professional boundaries, cultural competence, evidence-based techniques, psychoeducation, language style

Session Management

Rapport building, session structure, pacing, outcome expectations, session endings

Therapeutic Relationship

Trust and safety, mutual respect, empathy, attunement, alliance repair

Therapeutic Process

Sensitive topics, client questions, flexibility, addressing resistance, engagement, attachment style

Collaborative Process

Goal agreement, task collaboration, progress assessment, follow-up, client autonomy, acknowledging progress

The Collaborative Process dimension is grounded in Bordin's working alliance model (goals, tasks, bond), the same framework behind the Working Alliance Inventory. The other four dimensions go further into areas paper scales can't reach, like session pacing, cultural competence, and resistance patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions About Therapeutic Alliance Feedback

Can I share Alliance Genie™ insights with my supervisor?

Yes, two ways. You can bring the Alliance Genie™ report into supervision yourself. Dimension scores, flagged moments, and transcript excerpts give your supervisor specific evidence to react to instead of your recollection.

If your supervisor also uses Mentalyc, you can connect accounts and share sessions directly on the platform. They see the same analyzed sessions you do, in context, and you can review them together. That's the closest thing to having a supervisor sit in on the session itself.

For documenting the supervision meeting itself, see our AI Note Taker.

What questions should I bring to supervision about a specific client?

Alliance Genie™ helps you walk into supervision with specific moments instead of vague impressions. After analyzing your session, it flags ruptures, missed bids, engagement shifts, and patterns in how you handled resistance or sensitive content, all tied to exact transcript moments.

Useful supervision questions surface naturally from the report: "Why did engagement drop here?", "Was this a rupture I missed?", "Why did I redirect when the client opened up?", "What pattern do I keep repeating with this client?"

Instead of trying to remember what happened, you arrive with the data. Supervision time gets spent on interpretation and growth, not reconstruction.

For documenting the supervision meeting itself, see our AI Note Taker.

How does Alliance Genie™ analyze my sessions?

Alliance Genie™ evaluates your session across 5 clinical dimensions and 27 areas: using a framework grounded in Bordin’s working alliance model, the same theoretical foundation behind the Working Alliance Inventory, plus four additional dimensions that paper scales can’t reach: Therapeutic Framework, Session Management, Therapeutic Relationship, and Therapeutic Process.

The audio is processed into an anonymized transcript (no names or identifying details), then deleted. The AI reviews the transcript the way a supervisor would, looking at what strengthened the alliance, where engagement shifted, how you navigated resistance or sensitive topics, and what you might try differently next session.

You receive a structured feedback report: what went well, what you may have missed, and concrete suggestions for your next session. Over time, you can track how your scores across each dimension evolve.

What if I already use FIT, MyOutcomes, or the ORS?

Those tools measure outcomes and alliance via client-reported scores, they’re questionnaire-based, meaning the data quality depends on clients completing forms consistently. Alliance Genie™ is complementary, not competing: it gives you session-content analysis that those tools can’t provide, since they don’t have access to what actually happened in the session.

If you already use FIT or ORS, Alliance Genie™ fills in the picture between scores, helping you understand *why* a client’s ORS dipped, not just *that* it did.

Can I use Alliance Genie™ feedback for supervision or CE credits?

Alliance Genie™ doesn’t count toward CE credits. But for supervision, it works two ways:

If you have a supervisor, the session-specific feedback is a strong preparation tool, you come in with flagged moments and exact transcript quotes rather than relying on memory. That makes supervision time more focused and productive.

If supervision isn’t currently accessible, whether due to cost, availability, or your stage of licensure, Alliance Genie™ can serve as a reflective practice substitute. It gives you the kind of structured, session-level feedback that supervision would otherwise provide, on your own schedule.

How is Alliance Genie™ different from using the WAI or Session Rating Scale?

The Working Alliance Inventory (WAI) and Session Rating Scale (SRS) are validated self-report instruments, your client fills them out, you score them, and you get a number. They’re useful but depend on client compliance, add session overhead, and only capture what clients consciously report.

Alliance Genie™ works differently: it analyzes the session itself, extracting alliance signals from what actually happened in the room, engagement patterns, rupture moments, missed opportunities, without any forms or scoring. Instead of a number, you get specific moments flagged in your transcript with observations about what happened and why it matters clinically.

Does Alliance Genie™ record or store my sessions?

Alliance Genie™ temporarily records your session and keeps audio just long enough to create an anonymized transcript, no names or personal details included. The audio is deleted immediately after. Alliance Genie™ uses this anonymized transcript to extract key insights and highlight important moments, giving you helpful feedback, kind of like having a supervisor by your side.Everything is handled with strict privacy and security, fully HIPAA- and SOC 2-compliant.

Does Alliance Genie™ Work With CBT, Psychodynamic, and Relational Therapy?

Yes. Alliance Genie™ adapts to your therapeutic orientation. Whether you practice CBT, psychodynamic, relational, humanistic, or integrative care, Mentalyc tailors feedback to your selected modality, respecting your style and language of healing.

How Do I Get Access to Alliance Genie™ on Mentalyc?

To get access to Alliance Genie™, sign up for a Mentalyc account and choose a plan that includes it. Access depends on your subscription:

Mini: Not included.

Basic: Limited insights, you’ll see which areas might need attention, but won’t get details on when or why.

Pro, Super, Team: Full access, pinpoint missed opportunities and areas for improvement within transcripts, view key quotes and alliance recommendations, and track trends in each client’s profile over time.

Does Mentalyc know my clients better than I do? (Alliance Genie™)

Definitely not! No technology can replace your clinical intuition, empathy, or deep connection with your clients. But we all miss things sometimes, that’s where Alliance Genie™ helps. It’s a supportive tool that highlights patterns, reminds you of what matters, and makes sure nothing important gets overlooked. It’s here to enhance your intuition, not replace it.
