For Clients: Client Intake Overview
When your provider invites you to the client portal, you will receive an email to set up your account. The portal is a secure space to complete paperwork, view documents, manage appointments, and pay bills.
🔒 A Note About Your Medical Records
Your client portal contains private health records managed by your provider. Sessions Health cannot change, delete, or remove access to your records for you.
If you have questions about your records, need to make updates, or want to close your portal account, please contact your provider directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I stop and finish my paperwork later?
Yes. Your answers save automatically as you type, so you can leave and log back in later without losing your work. Just keep in mind that your account setup will not be complete until all forms marked Required are filled out and submitted.
What if my invitation link expired or I forgot my password?
If your initial invitation link has expired, ask your provider’s office to send you a new one. If you already created an account but forgot your password, select Forgot Password? on the portal login page to reset it.
Can I change my answers after I submit a form?
Once a form is completed and submitted, it cannot be edited directly in the portal. If you need to update an answer, send a message to your provider so they can share a new form with you.
Can I complete this paperwork on my phone?
Yes. You can access the client portal and complete all onboarding forms using any web browser on a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
