Important! Only providers can initiate secure messaging conversations with clients. Providers MUST message the client first to open and start the messaging appointment. 

When you have finished the session, please click the blue Complete button to close the messaging session. Once completed, clients will not be able to send additional messages until a new secure messaging session or appointment is created or scheduled by you.
