Play Therapy Intake Scheduling Form

Streamline Your Play Therapy Intake with Paperform

Finding the right therapeutic support for your child is a crucial step, and the intake process should be as smooth and supportive as the care itself. This Play Therapy Intake Scheduling Form template helps child therapists, counselors, and mental health professionals gather essential information while booking initial consultations—all in one welcoming, professional experience.

Why This Template Works for Play Therapy Practices

Play therapy requires a nuanced understanding of each child's unique needs, family dynamics, and developmental context. This template combines appointment scheduling with comprehensive intake questions, allowing you to:

• Gather developmental and behavioral history before the first session, so you can prepare appropriately
• Understand family dynamics and parent involvement preferences to tailor your approach
• Collect school and medical context that might impact treatment planning
• Schedule consultations efficiently with built-in availability management

The form is designed to feel warm and approachable—matching the supportive tone families expect from play therapy professionals—while still capturing all the clinical details you need.

Perfect for Child Therapists, Counselors, and Mental Health Clinics

Whether you're a solo practitioner building your play therapy practice, part of a child psychology clinic, or a school-based counselor offering therapeutic services, this template adapts to your workflow. Mental health professionals, pediatric occupational therapists offering play-based interventions, and family counseling centers will find this form captures the right balance of clinical rigor and family-friendly accessibility.
