What is a Genogram Creator?
A genogram creator is specialized software designed to help mental health professionals, medical practitioners, and families visualize family relationships, medical history, and emotional patterns across multiple generations. Unlike simple family tree makers, a professional genogram creator includes standardized clinical symbols developed by Monica McGoldrick, Randy Gerson, and Sueli Petry for mapping different relationship types, life events, and health conditions.
GenogramAI is the most advanced online genogram creator available, combining traditional genogram standards with cutting-edge AI technology. Our genogram creator allows you to describe your family in plain English or upload a photo of a hand-drawn diagram, and instantly generates a professional genogram with all the correct symbols and relationships. Whether you're a seasoned family therapist or a social work student learning genogram construction, GenogramAI makes creating accurate, professional genograms faster and easier than ever before.

How do I make a genogram for therapy?
Creating a therapy genogram with GenogramAI is simple: 1) Sign up for a free account, 2) Add family members using the quick-add system, 3) Connect them with structural relationships (marriages, divorces, parent-child), 4) Add emotional relationship overlays (close, distant, hostile, etc.), 5) Include medical conditions and cultural background, 6) Export as PNG for your clinical notes.
What symbols are used in genograms?
Genograms use standardized symbols: squares for males, circles for females, horizontal lines for marriages/partnerships, vertical lines for parent-child relationships, and various line styles for emotional relationships (double lines for close, zigzag for hostile, dotted for distant). GenogramAI supports all standard McGoldrick-Gerson symbols plus additional relationship types.
Can I create a genogram with medical history?
Yes! GenogramAI includes 4 customizable medical quadrants for tracking health conditions across generations. You can set your own labels for each quadrant (e.g., Heart Disease, Cancer, Diabetes, Mental Health) and color-code conditions for easy visualization of hereditary patterns.
Is my data secure on GenogramAI?
Yes. GenogramAI uses AES-GCM encryption to protect all genogram data. Your family information is encrypted client-side before storage, meaning even our servers cannot read your data. This zero-knowledge architecture provides strong privacy protection.
What's the difference between a genogram and a family tree?
While both show family relationships, genograms include much more information than family trees. Genograms display emotional relationships, medical history, behavioral patterns, and family dynamics using standardized clinical symbols. Family trees primarily show lineage and birth/death dates. Genograms are used therapeutically to identify multigenerational patterns.
Can I create genograms on my phone or tablet?
Yes! GenogramAI is fully responsive and works on any device with a web browser. You can create and edit genograms on your phone, tablet, or computer. Your work syncs across all devices automatically through secure cloud storage.
