For clinicians
Genogram software that actually understands therapy
Most genogram tools are built for genealogists or generic diagramming. GenogramCreator was built for family therapists, counselors, and clinical social workers.
The frustration of using the wrong tools
"It's just a family tree maker"
Generic tools focus on birth/death dates and lineage. They don't understand emotional relationships, enmeshment, or cutoffs.
"I don't trust it with client data"
Most diagramming tools weren't built with healthcare in mind. No encryption, unclear data policies, servers in who-knows-where.
"Where's the conflictual line?"
You need zigzag lines for conflict, wavy lines for distance, and double lines for fusion. Generic tools make you draw these manually.
"I can't use this in session"
Complex interfaces that require your full attention defeat the purpose. You need to focus on your client, not the software.
What family therapists actually need
We talked to dozens of therapists before building GenogramCreator. Here's what they told us matters most.
Complete emotional relationship symbols
Close, distant, conflictual, fused, hostile, cutoff, focused-on — all the relationship lines from Bowen theory and structural family therapy, ready to use.
Security you can actually trust
AES-256-GCM encryption, zero-knowledge architecture, local storage options. Your client data is encrypted before it ever leaves your device.
Simple enough to use in session
Drag, drop, connect. The interface stays out of your way so you can maintain rapport with your client while mapping their family system.
