Client portal for therapists & counselors

A therapy and counseling portal is where clients work through the homework set between sessions, and each therapist keeps session notes that only they can read.

Pattern: Tracking

Describe it to Pory

“Our counseling practice needs a portal where clients see the homework we set between sessions, and each therapist keeps private notes on their own clients' sessions.”

How Pory sets it up

Pory gives every client, therapist and practice manager a sign-in of their own. Each client sees only their own sessions. It covers sessions, notes and homework. Sessions, homework, forms, invoices, shared files and team live in Pory's own database, so there's no spreadsheet to keep in sync.

What it does

01

Session notes stay with the therapist who wrote them

Session notes end up in a locked drawer, a Word file on one laptop, or a practice system the whole office can open. Here each therapist sees only their own clients' sessions, and the notes on a session open for therapists alone. Clients and the practice manager see the date, the format and the homework, and the notes stay hidden from them.

Who sees which recordsDone by: Therapist
02

Clients check off between-session homework on their phone

Homework used to be a line scribbled on an appointment card, lost in a coat pocket by Thursday. Each exercise the therapist sets lands on the client's list with a due date, and they check it off as they go. The next session starts with what got done, not "remind me what I was supposed to try?"

The parts behind this portal

Each one reads and writes the same records, so a form, its approval and the status page someone checks are one system. How Pory builds a portal

  • Who sees which records

    Each person sees their own records, the ones assigned to them, or the ones they manage. Fields can be hidden per role. Pory sets this up from your description, and you can adjust it in the editor.

  • Passwordless sign-in

    A sign-in link by email, by default. Password sign-in if you'd rather.

  • Your brand

    Your domain, your colors, your logo. Members see you.

Frequently asked questions

A client signs in with a link sent to their email and lands on Home. They see Home, My homework, My sessions, Forms and files, Invoices and Practice info, and only the sessions that are theirs.

Only therapists. It's hidden from clients and practice managers: it doesn't appear on their pages or in the records they open.

You invite them. Each person gets a sign-in link by email, with no password to set, and lands in the role you chose for them.
