How Coast Psychology Cut Report Time in Half and Transformed a Once-Dreaded Workflow
From Burnout to Balance: The Challenge Before Psynth
Coast Psychology is a small but fast-growing group practice specializing in comprehensive pediatric evaluations. Led by Dr. Morizio, the team includes one additional psychologist and a therapist, supported by a part-time former clinician, a virtual assistant, and a reception service. Known for their meticulous, 20–30-page diagnostic reports—often the first and only evaluation a child will need—the clinicians at Coast set a high bar for quality and thoroughness.
But this standard came at a steep cost. Before adopting Psynth, Dr. Morizio’s “report writing 1.0” process mirrored that of many psychologists: writing from scratch. Each report consumed 8–10 hours, typically spanning an entire Thursday plus additional proofreading time on Friday morning. The process was stressful and isolating. “I would dread my Thursdays,” she recalled. “I’d procrastinate all day, then be writing until 8:00 PM to get it done.”
An attempt to modernize with another AI report-writing platform (“report writing 2.0”) proved disappointing. The interface was clunky, support was unresponsive, and the expensive monthly subscription model created unpredictable costs. When Psynth arrived, it offered a welcome reset—one that would quickly redefine the way Coast Psychology operated.
Adopting Psynth: A Step Change in Workflow
Dr. Morizio describes Psynth as her “report writing 3.0.” The goal was straightforward: save time, reduce cognitive load, and preserve the practice’s high standards of care.
Since adopting Psynth, report writing time has been cut by roughly 50%, from 8–10 hours per report to just 4–6 hours, including proofreading. Instead of dedicating an entire day to report writing, Dr. Morizio now generates reports midweek and edits them later.
“The fastest part of my process now is uploading documents into Psynth and generating the report,” she explained. “I spend far less time on tedious tasks like formatting and score transcription, and more time on clinical synthesis.”
That shift in focus—from mechanics to meaning—has changed the emotional tone of her work as much as the speed. “It used to feel like a mountain I had to climb at the end of every evaluation,” she said. “Now, I don’t dread it. I can actually engage with the material again.”
Measurable Gains: Speed, Quality, and Mental Clarity
The impact of Psynth has been both quantitative and qualitative:
- Report writing time reduced by 50% (8–10 hours → 4–6 hours)
- Stress and procrastination drastically reduced
- Cognitive load shifted from repetitive formatting to meaningful synthesis
- Report quality improved, with more attention devoted to conceptualization and recommendations
One of Psynth’s standout features for Coast Psychology is its score report translation, which automatically converts raw test data into narrative text. “That function works exceptionally well,” said Dr. Morizio. “It saves me from worrying about transcription errors and lets me focus on interpretation.”
Psynth’s per-report pricing model has also become a favorite aspect for the practice. After frustrations with a prior subscription service, the pay-per-report structure offers predictable, scalable costs that align with the clinic’s fluctuating caseload. “It’s a 10 out of 10 for value,” said Dr. Morizio. “When we have more evaluations, we have more revenue. It just makes sense.”
A Sustainable Future for a Growing Practice
With both psychologists moving to full-time schedules in 2026, Coast Psychology is poised for growth—and Psynth is essential to that plan. “If Psynth disappeared tomorrow, I’d be stressed and guilty,” Dr. Morizio admitted. “Stressed because it would impact our productivity, and guilty because I encouraged my team to adopt it.”
For Coast Psychology, Psynth is no longer a convenience—it’s a cornerstone of sustainable practice operations. By cutting report writing time in half, restoring focus to clinical judgment, and easing the emotional burden of administrative work, Psynth has helped the team rediscover what drew them to psychology in the first place: the joy of helping people.
