Keeping Your Information Secure

Charis utilizes HIPAA secure record keeping, text/email/fax communication, & maintains HIPAA compliant practices to maintain your privacy.

When scheduling an intake appointment with one of the counselors at Charis, they will ask for the client’s email and date of birth so that they can send an invite to our TherapyNotes Client Portal.

Through the Portal, you can access and complete all intake forms, and e-sign them on any device. However, a PC/MAC is recommended to fill out the intake forms. Click here to access the Client Portal.

If you are unable to access the Portal, or prefer to print your own paper copies of the forms and hand-write your answers, please email your counselor and they can be available for pick up at our Brush Prairie front desk or mailed to you.

All intake forms will NEED to be filled out and submitted PRIOR to the appointment time to ensure that they have been reviewed by the clinician and to dedicate the intake appointment time to YOU, rather than to the filling out of paperwork.

Please note that when making use of paper forms, privacy cannot be secured outside of the Charis counseling offices.

Charis uses the following systems:

  • iPlum for all encrypted call/text/fax communications

  • iPlum app available to ensure secure delivery of all text communications between counselor and client - see App Store and discuss this with your counselor

  • Hushmail for all encrypted email communications

  • TherapyNotes for all encrypted record keeping including intake & session notes
