Intake & onboarding

Presenting problem clarifier

Organize an unstructured account of why help is sought into clear presenting problems, onset, triggers, and impact.

Standard tool; account and usage limits apply. Review the current offer in the app before paying.

The task

When this tool helps

A broad account of distress needs separating into concrete problems and impact.

Why use a dedicated tool?

The dedicated form keeps client age band, session format, clinical notes in one task-specific starting point. You supply the context, review the draft, and decide what to use.

Pro access covers the settings marked Pro. Check the offer, usage limits, and renewal terms shown in your app before paying.

From input to draft

A concrete example

Fictional material

Sample input

What you bring

Fictional adult A says work meetings have felt difficult since starting a new role six weeks ago. They prepare late into the evening and have stopped taking lunch breaks. They want a more manageable routine.

Illustrative draft

Main concern: difficulty with work meetings since a role change six weeks ago. Impact: late preparation and missed lunch breaks. Desired change: a manageable routine. Clarify frequency, severity, and what has helped.

Written to illustrate the task; this is not a captured Psy output. It is a draft for professional review.
