Messages Feature

Once you match with a provider, you can communicate with them via the Messages feature (formerly known as "Chat"), available in the iOS and Android mobile and web apps. The Messages feature is a valuable tool for scheduling, initial questions, and providing quick updates. Your provider may also use the Messages feature to share supplemental materials or inform you of upcoming session changes.

While the Messages feature offers convenience, we strongly recommend one-on-one sessions as your primary method of receiving care. When you send a message to your provider, you can expect a response within 24 business hours. If you don't get a response within this window, please send us a note at [e-mail] so we can investigate further.
