What it does

Most therapists spend 30-45 minutes per new client tweaking a generic onboarding template they've been editing since grad school. This therapist client onboarding packet generator gives you a tailored packet in one pass: welcome letter, about-the-practice with crisis line and contact protocol, informed consent calibrated to your state's mandatory reporting and Tarasoff/duty-to-warn rules, financial agreement with sliding scale or insurance handling, cancellation/no-show policy, treatment expectations, and a 7-question intake form swapped for your population (couples, adolescents, trauma, grief, substance use, LGBTQ+ affirming). It's built for licensed clinicians and pre-licensed associates working under supervision (AMFT, ACSW, APCC, LMSW-pre-LCSW) — the bundled state-mandatory-reporting.md reference handles California, New York, Texas, Florida, Washington, Illinois, Colorado, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts with the specific statutory language each state expects, and falls back to a generic template for states not listed. The pre-licensed supervisor disclosure is automatic when you provide supervisor credentials. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline never gets omitted from the contact section, and the No Surprises Act Good Faith Estimate notice always appears for self-pay clients. The bundled specialty-intake-questions.md reference handles the modality-specific intake — couples therapy gets relationship-length, commitment scale, and the safety/DV screening question; adolescents get separate parent and teen sections with age-appropriate language; trauma-focused intake asks about prior trauma work without requiring details upfront; substance use intake asks about prior treatment and current goals (reduction vs. abstinence vs. harm reduction). The output is a print-ready HTML artifact with signature lines on Informed Consent and Financial Agreement. Have an attorney in your state review before clinical use — the post-generation notes always include this reminder.

Frequently asked

How do I create a therapist client onboarding packet for my private practice?
Tell the skill your name, credentials, license number, state, practice name, modality, session length and fee, sliding scale or insurance setup, cancellation policy, telehealth platform if applicable, and supervisor if you're pre-licensed. It generates a print-ready packet with all seven sections — welcome letter, practice info, informed consent, financial agreement, cancellation policy, treatment expectations, and a 7-question intake form — in a single HTML artifact.
Does it customize informed consent language by state?
Yes. The bundled state-mandatory-reporting reference covers California (elder abuse + Tarasoff), New York (discretionary duty to warn), Texas (duty to protect), Florida (Baker Act, Marchman Act), Washington (RCW 70.02 records access), Illinois (Mental Health & DD Confidentiality Act stricter than HIPAA), Colorado, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. For states not on the list, it uses a generic mandatory-reporting paragraph that covers the four universal obligations and flags the state for attorney review.
What if I'm pre-licensed (AMFT, ACSW, APCC) and working under supervision?
Provide your supervisor's name, credentials, and license number. The skill adds the standard supervisor disclosure paragraph to Informed Consent — that your clinical information may be reviewed by the supervisor as part of standard supervision, which is required for pre-licensed clinicians. The disclosure is calibrated to read as routine practice, not as a warning.
Does it handle specialty populations like couples or adolescents differently?
Yes. The default 7-question intake gets swapped for population-appropriate versions — couples therapy asks about relationship length, commitment scale, and includes the private DV screening question; adolescent intake has separate parent/guardian and teen sections with age-appropriate language; trauma-focused intake asks about prior work without requiring trauma details upfront; LGBTQ+ affirming adds pronoun and identity-support questions. The bundled specialty-intake-questions reference covers seven populations.
Can I use this for my life coaching practice?
No — the skill explicitly declines for unlicensed practitioners. Informed consent and mandatory reporting language is specific to licensed clinical practice and would be misleading in a coaching context. The skill is built for LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCs, PhDs, PsyDs, and the pre-licensed equivalents (AMFT, ACSW, APCC, LMSW).
