An AI receptionist for a therapy practice

You can't pick up mid-session, and that's the job working as it should. But the person calling doesn't know that. They just hear it ring out. CallerIQ answers instead, greets the caller, finds out what they need, and gets you a clean summary the moment you're free.

A REAL CALL

A woman calls at nine at night, finally ready to look for a therapist after putting it off for weeks.

CallerIQ: Thanks for calling. I can take down your info so the practice can follow up. What's your name? Caller: It's Rachel. CallerIQ: Hi Rachel. What's going on, in your own words, so I can pass it along? Caller: I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety since starting a new job, and I think I need someone to talk to. CallerIQ: Got it. Do you have times that usually work for you? Caller: Evenings, mostly, after six. CallerIQ: And a callback number? Caller: Yes, it's the one I'm calling from. CallerIQ: Perfect. Someone from the practice will reach out soon.

The owner wakes up to a summary: Rachel, new-client inquiry, anxiety related to a job change, prefers evenings after six, callback number attached.

The calls you're losing

Why therapy practices miss calls

You're in session, on purpose

The whole design of a therapy practice is that you're unreachable while you're with a client. That's good for the client in the room. It means every other call goes unanswered while it happens.

New clients call when they're finally ready

People reaching out for a first consult often do it at night, after they've worked up the nerve. If that call hits voicemail, plenty of them won't call back tomorrow.

Scheduling questions pile up between sessions

Reschedules and simple scheduling questions need a quick answer, not a callback hours later. Left unanswered, they turn into more back-and-forth than they should.

Spam calls eat into your few free minutes

Directory upsells and billing service pitches ring your line during the small gaps you have between clients, the exact time you need for a real break or a real callback.

How it works

Three steps, one dial code.

01

Forward your missed calls

One dial code sets up conditional call forwarding with your carrier. Your number stays your number; only the calls you don’t answer route to CallerIQ.

02

CallerIQ answers

It greets the caller in the voice and greeting you chose, finds out who they are and what they need, and captures the details, using only the business information you gave it.

03

You get the summary

Who called, why, and what to do next, in a clean report you can read in seconds. Real callers get through; spam doesn’t.

What your callers hearA caller hears a calm, clear greeting right away, no dead air, no guessing if the line even works. CallerIQ says plainly that it's an AI answering for the practice, then asks what they're looking for, in their own words, and gets a callback number. It doesn't pretend to be a person, and it doesn't need to. It just makes sure nothing gets lost.
And the spam?Directory upsells and billing service pitches get the same treatment every time: CallerIQ recognizes the pattern, declines on your behalf, and can happily waste their time instead of yours. None of it reaches your desk unless you want to see it.
Questions

What therapy practices ask us

Will callers know it's an AI answering?+
Yes. CallerIQ says upfront that it's answering for the practice. It's honest about what it is, which is part of why it works well: patient, consistent, and never in a rush.
Can it answer questions about rates or insurance?+
It only uses what you give it. If you provide standard answers, it can share them. Otherwise it notes the question so you can follow up directly.
How does it handle new-client consult requests?+
It asks for the caller's name, what they're seeking help with in their own words, preferred times, and a callback number, then sends it all to you as a clean summary.
Do I need a new phone number?+
No. CallerIQ works through carrier call forwarding on your existing line. There's no new number and no hardware to set up.
Can I turn it off if I want to answer myself?+
Yes, any time, with one dial code. You're always in control of when it's on.
