Everything you'll need to sign, in one place.
Paperwork is done electronically in the client portal — it's faster, it's encrypted, and it saves your first session for actual conversation. Printable copies are here too, if you'd rather read them on paper first.
Please don't email completed forms. Ordinary email isn't secure. Upload them through the portal instead — it takes about thirty seconds and keeps your information protected.
The client portal
Your intake packet arrives in the portal as soon as you book. Everything is signed electronically, stored encrypted, and available to you any time — including after we finish working together.
What's in the intake packet
- Client information & contact details
- Health and mental health history
- Consent for treatment
- Practice policies & fee agreement
- Notice of Privacy Practices acknowledgment
- Telehealth consent
- Card-on-file authorization
- Brief baseline symptom measures
Prefer paper?
These are the same documents you'll see in the portal, as PDFs you can read at your own pace before signing anything. Fill them out by hand if that's easier — just upload them to the portal rather than emailing them.
Before launch: these PDFs are drafting templates with bracketed
placeholders. Have your attorney or compliance advisor review and finalize them, then
replace the files in /assets/forms/.
Need something sent to you?
Use this to ask for a portal invite, a records request form, a superbill, or a paper packet. It comes to my inbox and gets handled Monday through Thursday.
Keep it non-clinical. This form travels over ordinary web mail. Leave out diagnoses, symptoms, and anything you'd want protected — we'll move that part of the conversation into the secure portal.
Records requests and custom letters take professional time and are billed at $250/hour. Straight copies of your record follow Wisconsin and federal fee rules.
