Ondara replaces paper packets and clipboard intake with HIPAA-compliant digital intake forms, automated patient invitations, and AI-generated clinical summaries — so therapists and psychologists walk into every first session already prepared.
No credit card required · HIPAA-compliant from day one · BAA available
Most mental health practices still rely on paper packets, fax-back forms, or generic survey tools that weren't built for clinical work.
Handwritten responses are illegible, sections get skipped, and packets arrive incomplete. You spend the first session catching up instead of treating the patient.
Google Forms, Typeform, and JotForm collect PHI without the encryption, audit trail, or BAA your practice actually needs to stay compliant.
Every paper packet means re-typing responses into your EHR or notes. That's hours per week of administrative work — work an intake platform should do for you.
Everything you need to digitize patient intake for your therapy or psychology practice.
Drag-and-drop builder for therapy intake forms. Sections for demographics, medical history, presenting concerns, family history, substance use, trauma history, and more.
Upload the intake packet you already use. Ondara converts it into a digital form your patients can complete on any device.
Send secure intake links via email and watch completion status update in real time as patients fill out their forms.
Once intake is submitted, Ondara generates a structured clinical summary in about 12 seconds — Reason for Referral, Family History, Presenting Concerns, and more.
AES-256-GCM encryption, PHI redaction before AI processing, complete audit logs, and BAA available for all paid plans.
Share patients between providers, manage roles with fine-grained permissions, and standardize intake across your entire team.
From paper-and-clipboard to fully digital intake in three steps.
Use the drag-and-drop builder to create intake forms tailored to your practice, or upload your existing PDF intake packet and let Ondara digitize it.
Send a secure intake link by email. Patients complete the form on their phone, tablet, or computer. Their responses are encrypted the moment they hit submit.
Ondara generates a clinical summary from the intake responses. Review it in your dashboard, refine it in your own writing style, and start the session ahead — not behind.
How Ondara compares to paper intake, generic survey tools, and EHR-bundled intake.
Purpose-built for mental health. HIPAA-compliant, AI clinical summaries, BAA available, drag-and-drop builder, automated patient invitations, complete audit trail.
Cheap upfront but expensive in admin time. No structured data, no audit trail, illegible handwriting, packets arrive incomplete or get lost in transit.
General-purpose survey tools. No PHI encryption guarantees, limited audit logs, no BAA on most tiers, no clinical summary generation, not built for the workflow.
Common questions from therapists and psychology practices evaluating Ondara.
Mental health intake software is a HIPAA-compliant platform that lets therapy and psychology practices send digital intake forms to new patients, collect demographics, medical history, and presenting concerns securely, and turn that data into clinical documentation.

Yes. Ondara is used by solo therapists, psychologists, neuropsychology practices, and group practices. Team collaboration features let you share patients between providers, manage roles with fine-grained permissions, and standardize documentation across your organization.
