How does Formfy's AI build a counseling intake form?
Describe your counseling practice — for example, 'private therapy practice offering individual and couples counseling' — and Formfy's AI Copilot generates a complete intake form with contact information, presenting concerns, background history, and informed consent language. Review it, customize if needed, and publish — all in under a minute.
What fields should a counseling intake form include?
A typical counseling intake form includes client contact details, emergency contact information, presenting concerns and session goals, relevant personal and mental health background, medications and treatment history, and an informed consent for services section. Formfy's AI generates all of these fields automatically.
How does SMS intake form delivery work?
After creating your intake form, send it directly to your client's phone via SMS. They receive a link, open it in any browser, complete the form, and submit — before their first appointment. No app download required. You get notified instantly when they submit.
Can clients fill out counseling intake forms on their phone?
Yes. Formfy forms are fully mobile-optimized. Clients tap the SMS link, complete the intake form on their phone or tablet, and submit from any device. The process works on any browser — iPhone, Android, or desktop.
Is Formfy an EHR or practice management system?
No. Formfy is a digital form builder and e-signature platform — not an electronic health record or therapy practice management system. Formfy helps you create, send, and collect digital intake and consent forms. For clinical record-keeping, scheduling, or billing, use a dedicated EHR system. Review your compliance requirements with the appropriate legal or clinical advisor.
Can I combine intake and consent in a single form?
Yes. Formfy lets you combine client background questions, presenting concerns, and informed consent for services in a single digital form. Clients complete and sign everything before their first session.
Can I replace my paper intake forms with Formfy?
Absolutely. Upload your existing PDF intake form and Formfy converts it into a digital form with signature fields, or let the AI generate one from scratch. Every submission is stored digitally with a full audit trail — no more lost paperwork or illegible handwriting.
Does Formfy also handle e-signatures, booking, and payments?
Yes. Beyond intake forms, Formfy includes DocuSign-style e-signatures compliant with the ESIGN Act and eIDAS, appointment scheduling with availability management, and payment collection through Stripe and PayPal at time of booking.
Is there a free trial?
Yes! Formfy offers a 15-day free trial with no credit card required. Create your counseling intake form with AI, send it by SMS, collect signed consent forms, and test the full platform before committing. Paid plans start at $19/month.
