Quick answer

Free counseling-agency client registration and assignment form — referral context, self-described urgency and constraints for defensible triage.

Disclaimer: this form supports administrative routing in counseling agencies. It is not a risk assessment; urgent or safety flags must follow agency protocols with immediate human contact.

Content note: fields are illustrative — align urgency levels and routes with your agency's protocol.

About this template

Agency intake lives or dies on triage: who needs care soonest, who fits which counselor, who can wait. This registration form captures referral context, self-described urgency, language and scheduling constraints and preference notes in one structured record, giving coordinators a defensible waitlist order instead of first-come fairness theater.

Frequently Asked Questions

What must a client assignment form capture for fair triage?
Presenting concern, self-described urgency, practical constraints and referral context — the three inputs coordinators actually weigh: need, fit and availability.
Should risk be screened on this form?
Capture self-described urgency only; formal risk assessment belongs in clinician contact — the form routes fast, it does not assess.
Is it free to use?
Yes — copy it into your FormLM workspace and adapt routes to your roster.
How do waitlists stay honest?
Urgency and constraint answers give the queue a defensible order, and status fields show clients where they stand.
Can counselors see the full record?
Assignment notes route to the matched counselor; sensitive lines stay coordinator-gated per your workflow.
How is this different from client intake?
Intake records the client's clinical picture for therapy; this routes the inquiry through the agency to the right counselor.
