Hi all, I’m a mental health therapist, and I’ve just created my site.
For now, the only interaction I need with potential clients is the Contact widget and, ideally, the ability to email from the admin account… Both of which would need to comply with HIPAA guidelines. Down the line I might also consider adding a patient portal to allow existing clients to create accounts, upload documents and perhaps pay for services.
How much of this is possible in a WordPress site? I’m especially interested in the experiences of mental Healthcare professionals.

I just had a call with a eye care company. Using regular contact forms but using there smtp server would yield the hipaa compliance.
They are using office 365 ecosystem.
The only issue would be not storing patients data in your db. Just let it pass thru into your hipaa compliant email system.
Jot forms is also hippa compliant.
it’ll be 100% on your hosting provider to get you the properly encrypted database and sign a HIPAA compliant vendor document for your records. i *think* wpengine had that as an option? most hosting providers won’t… from there you’ll need to follow HIPAA guidelines manually by just understanding them well enough to know when you’re allowed to store data and when you have to delete it after use.
I would just use Cognito Forms or Jot Forms and embed in the page, less risk and turnkey compliance.
