Scheduling your first session
Each provider has their own preference for how to start treating new clients. Some prefer to start with a ~15 minute introductory phone call (phone consultation), while others will go right to a full session for the first meeting.
You’ll be able to see if a provider starts off with calls or sessions within their profile, and by looking at the green Book session or Book phone call button on the right side of their page.
After your first conversation, your provider will take care of scheduling future sessions! You’ll be able to determine with them how often you want to see them and find a time that works, whether recurring or not. We recommend discussing this directly with your provider.

Telehealth / virtual sessions
Virtual (telehealth) sessions are an option for almost every insurance plan. Some providers offer virtual in addition to in-person sessions, while others may do all virtual treatment.
Every provider chooses their own platform for virtual sessions, and they’ll send any links or instructions you need to dial in prior to the appointment.

Scheduling follow-up appointments with your provider
Headway assists clients in setting up their first appointment with a new provider, which we hope will be the start of a long relationship.
After your first appointment, message your provider directly to schedule all follow-up sessions and / or reschedule an existing session. Your provider's unique booking link is for new clients only, and you cannot book follow up appointments from their profile.

Once you have scheduled a phone consultation or session with a provider on Headway, you are able to contact them directly via the Messages portal while logged into your Headway account.
