AI receptionist for psychology and counselling practices

An AI receptionist for psychology practices that is calm, private and clear

People often call a psychologist when they are already stressed. Abby answers warmly, takes the details your intake needs and books the right clinician, while making clear it does not give clinical advice.

Psychology FAQ

What is the best AI receptionist for psychologists?

One that is gentle on the phone, never gives clinical advice, protects client privacy and sends urgent callers to the right services. AbbyAI is set up that way by default.

What does Abby do if a caller is in crisis?

Abby tells the caller to contact 000 or a crisis line straight away and alerts your team. It never tries to counsel the caller.
