Client profiles: creating/updating
Goal: Keep client profiles accurate so booking, communication, and documentation work smoothly.
Before you create a new client
- Search for the client first (to avoid duplicates):
- name (and common spelling variations)
- phone number
Avoid creating a duplicate profile, instead use profiles that already exist. If you think a duplicate profile exists for your client, please advise admin.
Creating a client profile (when needed)
Please only add a new client profile when you are actually booking a session for that client.
If you need a new client added without booking a session (for example, adding the second partner for a couples session that was booked under the other partner’s name), please contact admin to create the profile.
When creating a new client profile, ensure the basics are correct:
- Full name (as client prefers)
- Email (important: use the email they booked with)
- Phone number (if used)
Third-party payer note (non-insurance)
If someone other than the client will be paying (e.g., parent/relative) and/or should receive invoices while the client receives text reminders, follow:
Updating a client profile
If a client changes email/phone:
- Update the existing profile rather than creating a new one.
Privacy note
- Only collect/store information that is needed for care, communication, and clinic operations.
