Progress Note – This is the original template I developed for myself, after years of modifying clinical note forms. The original form includes check boxes and spaces for documenting…

  • Mental health status
  • Tracking progress

  • Payments or insurance billing

Additionally, there are spaces and prompts for recording….

  • Risk assessment

If you’re like me, this means you never have to worry about trying to decipher your own handwriting again!

Progress Note Conjoint A – this is the automated version of the Conjoint template form allowing you to create notes on your computer.

SOAP Notes – This SOAP note is specifically designed using SOAP format. This note includes all the same check boxes for CPT codes, assessing progress, mental health status, etc. as the original Note, but with specific reminders to write in your Subjective data, Objective data, Assessment and Plan.

SOAP Notes A – This is the automated version of the SOAP style form described above.

Bonus Tools
Add value to Your Counseling Services with this Bonus Tool

BONUS #1 – Client Progress Note – This form is for your client. You know how valuable it is to take time to process each session in writing. Now there is a form to help your client assess their own emotional, cognitive and behavioral status after each session. This can be used as a helpful journaling tool as well.

The value of this bonus form alone is worth the cost of the entire Tool Kit.

I’ll never forget the day I introduced this tool to one client imparticular. I could see the impact it was making on her immediately. (By the way, I keep those forms on a clip board in my office. Once my clients get use to using them, they will remind me when I run out. That’s a good sign that they are adding value!) This form helps clients to take personal responsibility for their progress. And isn’t that what you want for your clients?

Help Clients Develop Critical Thinking Skills

Getting back to the story… as we began to work through each heading on the client note, her eyes brightened. When she began filling in the blanks, she obviously began to grasp what the counseling process was all about. She also began to grasp what was expected from her. I could see the wheels begin to turn: a smile came over her face as she said, “Now I get it.”

These Forms can Save You Precious Time and Money

How? Because they are Microsoft word documents they can be downloaded immediately and saved to your own computer. You will then be able to streamline your intake process by emailing (if you choose) the intake paperwork directly to your referral. They will then be able to print out the forms and complete them in the comfort and privacy of their own home.

NOT TECHNICAL – no worries – all the forms are also included in PDF format as well. That means all you need to do is print and use. If you want to add your credentials in the header just use your professional stamp.

Here’s a little bit of advice: When you email the forms state, “Please complete each form thoroughly (Check off each box and answer each question) If something does not apply please put n/a. Please return the completed forms to me at your first appointment.” These simple words can save you and your client time and frustration

The forms in your Private Practice Forms Starter Kit are created in Microsoft Word 2003 and are Windows and Macintosh compatible. Once you down load your forms you will customize them by adding your own name, address and contact information in the header. Now you have your own professional set of mental health forms.
