Technology Partner — FrameShare

BrainPalette™ is proud to partner with FrameShare, a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform built specifically for art therapy and creative mental health care.

FrameShare lets therapists and clients collaborate on shared digital canvases in real time—painting with watercolor, brushes, and blending tools—while every piece of artwork stays securely organized in a digital client portfolio.

FrameShare's goal is to ease the workload of art therapists, while offering digital tools as a supplement to studio work. FrameShare also offers practice management solutions around scheduling, record keeping, billing, and outreach. The roadmap is guided by the community and many features keep getting added, to build the tools the therapist really needs.
