Scheduling for therapy practices with AI
Therapy scheduling works best when new clients can book a short consultation online, recurring sessions are held for existing clients, and reschedules are easy within your policy. AI can offer slots that fit your rules, send reminders and handle simple changes. You set the policies.

Consultations versus sessions
A first call is different from a session. Offering only consultation slots to new people protects your regular hours.
Group practices can route new people to the clinician with the right specialty and openings, instead of one inbox handling everything.
Recurring time is the core
Most clients keep a standing slot. The tool should hold it, move it when asked, and note the change for you.
Cancellation windows and fees are your policy. The assistant should state them as you wrote them and pass exceptions to you.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like in a therapy practice. Illustrations, not clients.
A new person books a 15 minute consultation for Thursday. Your regular session slots are not shown to them.
A client asks to move this week’s session. The assistant offers two times inside your policy.
A reminder goes out 24 hours before with a link to confirm or reschedule.
