1. Consent

By providing your mobile phone number on our forms, at intake, or through our patient portal, you consent to receive text messages from us related to your care and our practice as described below. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services from us. For marketing messages, we obtain separate express written consent as required by law.

2. Types of messages you may receive

Appointment reminders and scheduling. Confirmations, reminders, reschedules, cancellations, wait-list openings, and intake instructions.
Two-way patient communication. Non-urgent messages between you and our front desk or clinical team — for example, replies to scheduling questions, requests for information, or follow-up instructions.
Practice announcements and occasional marketing. Only if you have given separate express written consent. Examples include new services, educational content, or provider availability updates.

3. Message frequency

Frequency varies based on your activity with the practice. Reminder and care-related messages are sent as needed. Marketing messages, when enabled, are sent no more often than a few times per month.

4. How to opt out

You can opt out at any time. Reply to any message with any of the following keywords: STOP, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, or QUIT. After you opt out, we will send one confirmation message and will not send further SMS messages to that number, except that we may still contact you by other means (phone or email) about your care.

You can also opt out by calling (845) 231-0321 or emailing info@restorewellnesspsych.com.
