Pronouns next to names

Answered

Hello Simple Practice,

I work with clients who come to me and decide that their pronouns are different than when they started. I have a friend who uses TheraNest and the pronouns show up right next to client names so they can see that when they see the client and write notes.

I'm considering switching to TheraNest if these changes aren't made. I feel strongly that if simple practice does not make this change, this is not gender affirming for my folxs. Considering the Caldwell's teach competency classes for LGBTQ+ folxs, I would think that this could be understood and a very easy change.

While my intake paperwork reflects this, it is an extra step to be constantly digging back into the intake during my sessions and note writing.

    Also, this is the second time I've asked for this. Call if you have any more questions. I'll circulate a petition on Twitter if I need to get this to happen.

    Hi Saren,

    Currently, it is possible to have the client enter in their pronouns in the Demographics form, however, this does not show up next to the name when the client's name is listed in the account. I've included a screenshot of the Gender Identity field on the Demographic form in the Client Portal. The language entered here encourages the client to include their preferred pronoun as well. 


    Additionally, we love feedback and ideas for ways to advance the platform, and we encourage you to add the idea of the pronouns appearing next to the client's name to our Ideas and Suggestions board.

    This board is one of our most important resources for understanding which features will have the most value for our community. Posting on our Ideas and Suggestions board means that members of our Product Team, as well as all members of our Community, have transparent access to review your suggestion. Other members can vote on your suggestion, and you can vote on their suggestions as well. You'll also receive notifications when our team makes an update to this post.

    If you're curious, here's more information about how a customer idea can become a SimplePractice feature: Customer feedback: How a customer idea can become a feature in SimplePractice.

    Agree pronouns in the info bar would be SO helpful.

    Put pronouns next to names.  It is really disheartening that this is not done.
