Beth Rontal, MSW, LICSW

Beth Rontal, LICSW, also known as the Documentation Wizard, spent 20 years as a theater costume designer before bringing her eye for structure and creativity to clinical work. Over 24 years as a trauma therapist, she discovered an unexpected passion: transforming the documentation clinician’s dread into a powerful clinical tool.

While supervising at a community mental health agency for 11 years, Beth developed a practical formula for treatment plans and progress notes that transformed her supervisees’ experience of note writing. In 2012, she founded Documentation Wizard® to help therapists turn clinical intuition into simplified, effective documentation. Her trainings and comprehensive forms – reviewed by attorneys and a bioethicist – and her work developing an electronic documentation system have empowered clinicians worldwide. Today, Beth has a private practice in Boston, MA specializing in emotional eating and is an internationally recognized speaker and consultant on mental health documentation.
