Of course! LePsy software is built with the FileMaker platform. With each operating system upgrade, Claris strives to provide a version of FileMaker that is compatible with the different operating systems.

Previous versions of the LePsy software were built using the Runtime of FileMaker. This means it was not necessary to have FileMaker on your computer, hence the “single” payment of these versions. Since November 2019, the Runtime is no longer available. Once you have your subscription, you will receive the information required to download and install FileMaker. Available as a monthly subscription, the LePsy software delivers continuity, an optimal performance and continuous updates.

It’s very simple! You just need to copy the “LePsy” directory, like you would copy a photo directory, where you want them to go. An external hard drive, a USB key, or any other secure area are good options to keep backup copies. Because you use a computer to manage your activities, you must make backup copies!

The best way to learn how to use the software is to explore it and try it out! You have a 30-day free trial period to do so. Also, in the “Tutorial” section of this website, you will find several videos uploaded to show you what you can do. If you still have questions, I am always available to personally help you.

Of course! LePsy software was created not only to be easy to use, but also to adapt to every user.

The information simply has to be included in the initial progress note.

When the client is a child, you only need to specify the relevant information in your initial progress note. You can write the names of the parents, the tutor or any other person if the child lives in a blended family. By doing so, we don’t have to enter the information in multiple sections, thus simplifying the process and avoiding any limitations that may arise with a given situation!

The same applies to groups! You can include all of the group’s information in the initial progress note. It will be possible to enter the name of all the participants.

With this method, the software can be fun, flexible and easy to use. No limitations and simplicity, that’s what we are looking for!

The software was created in association with a team of psychologists. Our objective was unanimous and clear: to create a software easy to use to help manage clients while respecting the code of ethics and being flexible to specific needs. We could have included an area for the patient’s history, the genogram and every user’s specific requirements. However, if we would have proceeded this way, the screen would have been filled with options that are incomprehensible for some users and useless for others. So we agreed that this kind of information should be written in the initial progress note, which will hold all the data relevant to your case. In this note, you can attach documents (PDF, Word, etc.) which you can consult by simply clicking on them.

Moreover, we encountered the same problem regarding the management of a child client or a group. It would have been easy enough to fill the screen with input fields for the parents’ information, but it would have required to add two address sections, since the child’s parents may have different addresses. Then the same reality applies to groups. The screen would have been filled with input fields. Respecting all these needs while preserving clarity and flexibility, the solution is to include all this important information in your initial progress note. If your client is a child, you can make a summary of the situation and enter the contact information of both parents. For a group, you can enter the name of every member in this note. This is the best way to solve the problem while preserving the efficiency and simplicity of the software.

Yes!

But to do so, you have to sign up for the cloud user subscription. The reason is quite simple: data protection! Indeed, the technical difficulty related to backup copies makes the cloud mandatory. This way, the backup copies are automatic and the data is accessible from anywhere.

In addition, the data entered from the iPad is immediately accessible in the “computer” version.

Yes!

Watch the tutorial videos. You will learn how to create an unlimited number of forms. You can also personalize them, including your consent form.

Of course!

You can create an unlimited number of templates. They will also be available for progress notes and reports.

Version 4 of the LePsy software comes with a new feature: tags. It is now possible to organize your text templates with tags. To go from one tag to another, you can use the tab key.
