What mental health practices text about

Many practices limit texting to scheduling logistics, such as confirming a session time, and keep clinical conversation in session.

Team texting on Callata runs from your business number, so replies come from the practice or shop rather than someone's personal phone. It turns on after the one-time $49 carrier registration (10DLC) is approved.
