About this template

This Initial Consultation template is designed for psychologists to document comprehensive assessments during a client's first visit. It covers key areas such as client presentation, presenting concerns, past interventions, and relevant background factors. The template also includes sections for medical and developmental history, risk assessment, and therapy goals. Ideal for psychologists, this template ensures a thorough evaluation, aiding in the development of effective treatment plans. When used with Heidi, the AI medical scribe, it streamlines the documentation process, allowing clinicians to focus more on patient care.
