My Elara: a HIPAA-minded practice platform for clinicians

A licensed counselor came to us with a practice that had outgrown its tools. We built the platform that now runs it: intake, sessions, assessments, homework, messaging, billing, and a super-admin console, from zero to production in 22 weeks.

01Overview

From four disconnected tools to one platform.

The client is a licensed counselor building a practice platform. Sessions were booked in one tool, notes lived in another, assessments were on paper, and nothing connected to the client record. Growing the practice meant growing the busywork.

We scoped the work in two phases on fixed-price milestones. Phase one delivered the MVP: authentication, clinician and client onboarding, intake, sessions, and notes, in production and in real use. Phase two added the assessments engine, homework and worksheets, journaling, secure messaging, billing, and the admin consoles.

The whole build ran 22 weeks with a weekly demo. At the final milestone the repository, the hosting, and the documentation transferred to the client. My Elara is theirs.

  • Intake, scheduling, notes, and homework live in one system instead of four.
  • Scored assessments replace paper forms, with results attached to the client record.
  • Audit logging, encryption, and role based access were in place before the first client signed in.

Homework and worksheets, assigned against a calendar and tracked to completion.

02What we built

Twenty three API modules, in production.

Every item below is shipped software a clinician or a client uses, not a roadmap.

  • Client onboarding and intake
  • Clinician matching, connections, and transfers

Clinical work

  • Sessions and session notes
  • Assessments engine with PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, AUDIT, and DAST-10 scoring
  • Externally administered instruments for assessments given outside the app
  • Homework, worksheets, and assignments with a calendar
  • Journaling and emotion tracking with a client privacy opt-out
  • Check-ins and reports

Communication and growth

  • Secure messaging between clinician and client
  • Notifications across the platform

03Architecture

Built to hold protected health information.

Audit logging, encryption, tenant isolation, and role based access were part of the first milestone, not a later hardening pass.
