First-session structure

Free Therapy Intake Timer

Use a therapy intake timer for first-session context, goals, history, consent, questions, paperwork, and next steps. Keep intake sessions gently structured and create an XTimer room when a shared timer supports the session.

Built for this job

Intake sessions can stay structured while leaving room for context.

Therapists and clients can preserve time for questions and next steps.
