Intake Notes

Intake note templates for the first session

A structured biopsychosocial intake template that captures presenting problem, history, risk screening, and diagnosis — ready to carry forward into the treatment plan.

What's included

  • Presenting problem and history of present illness
  • Psychiatric, medical, family, and social history
  • Substance use and risk/safety screening
  • Mental status exam
  • Diagnostic impression (DSM/ICD)

Why it matters

A consistent intake format means nothing gets missed on a client's first visit, and every field flows directly into the treatment plan — no retyping client history a second time.
