This **Interpersonal Therapy Consent Form** template is designed specifically for mental health professionals treating depression through IPT's four core problem areas: grief, role transitions, interpersonal disputes, and interpersonal deficits. #### Why This Template Works for Mental Health Practices This form goes beyond basic consent—it helps you identify the primary interpersonal focus areas during intake, understand your client's relationship patterns, and document informed consent for treatment. The template includes sections for medical history, current symptoms, relationship assessment, and treatment expectations, giving you a complete clinical picture from the first session. With Paperform's conditional logic, you can tailor questions based on the client's presenting concerns. For example, if a client indicates they're experiencing grief, the form automatically reveals questions about loss and bereavement. This creates a more personalized intake experience while ensuring you gather all relevant clinical information. #### Integrate with Your Practice Management Workflow Connect this consent form to your existing practice management tools using Paperform's native integrations or **Stepper** (stepper.io) workflows. Automatically route new client submissions to your EHR system, send welcome emails with session preparation materials, add clients to your scheduling system, and notify your administrative team—all triggered when someone completes the form. **Papersign** (papersign.com) integration lets you seamlessly transition from intake to formal treatment agreements. Once a client completes this consent form, you can automatically generate and send a formal therapy agreement for eSignature, creating a complete digital intake process with full audit trails for compliance. #### HIPAA Considerations While Paperform provides SOC 2 Type II compliance and robust security features, it is not a HIPAA-compliant solution. Mental health practices subject to HIPAA requirements should use this form for general intake and consent purposes in conjunction with HIPAA-compliant systems for storing protected health information (PHI), or ensure they have appropriate Business Associate Agreements and security measures in place according to their compliance needs. Trusted by mental health professionals worldwide, this template helps you deliver compassionate, professional care while maintaining organized client records and streamlined administrative workflows. Built for growing businesses, trusted by bigger ones. Trusted by 500K+ business owners and creators, and hundreds of millions of respondents. ![Capterra - 4.8 out of 5](/images/capterra-st.jpg) ![Trustpilot - 4.8 out of 5](/images/trustpilot-st.jpg) ![G2
