Kordial handles administrative scheduling inquiries and lead capture only. It does not conduct clinical intake, provide mental health advice, or respond to crisis situations. It is not a HIPAA-covered entity. Practice plan includes a BAA for US customers. For immediate crisis support, callers are directed to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room. Kordial is not a crisis service.

Someone finally decided to call. You were in session. They didn't leave a message.

80% of callers who reach voicemail hang up without leaving a message. For mental health practices, that moment — when someone finally picks up the phone — is fragile. Kordial answers every call with calm and clarity, captures every inquiry, and makes sure the moment someone decides to reach out doesn't slip through because you were with another client.

Why Kordial

Answers when you're in session

You can't interrupt a client to pick up the phone. Kordial answers calmly and professionally every time, even at 9pm on a Sunday.

Reads your practice from your clients' words

Kordial reads your Google reviews: the warmth, the feeling of safety, what made clients feel comfortable. When a first-time caller is deciding whether to trust your practice, it answers from that perspective.

Administrative only

Kordial handles intake inquiries, scheduling questions, and lead capture. It does not conduct clinical intake or respond to crisis situations.

How it works

Paste your practice name or URL

Kordial reads your Google Business Profile, your reviews, and your website. Takes about 60 seconds.

02

It picks up your calls

Forward your number, or use a dedicated intake line. Kordial answers calmly and immediately, every time.

03

You get the lead

Callers who want to schedule get your intake link. Everyone else gets their question answered. You get a summary of every call.

What customers say

More accuracy, faster responses, 24/7 availability at a fraction of the cost. We fired our live answering service.
50-year business veteran
After one week, significantly better at capturing leads from new customers who call after hours. An absolute steal.
Salon Le Volume
We were losing customers because calls were going to voicemail. Since using AI, callers stay engaged instead of going to competitors.
Hello Sugar Salon

A live answering service runs $200 to $400 a month, staffed by people who aren't trained in how to speak to someone nervous about making a mental health inquiry. The first impression matters enormously in mental health intake. One new client who books because someone answered their Sunday-night call covers months of Kordial.
