Scheduling interpreter services

Request an interpreter for your session and learn how Grow Therapy's language services work.

Grow Therapy offers interpreter services so language doesn't stand in the way of getting the care you need. Through our partner, Propio ONE (formerly Cyracom), most clients can access interpretation at no cost, including on-demand American Sign Language (ASL) and more than 300 spoken languages by phone or video. If you're a Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KP NorCal) client, your interpreter services are handled directly through Kaiser.

Requesting an interpreter


Kaiser Permanente Northern California clients

If your insurance is through KP NorCal, your interpreter services are handled through Kaiser, not Propio ONE.

When you book with a KP NorCal provider, you can check a box during the booking process to indicate you need an interpreter. This alerts your provider right away that you require this service. If you've already booked or miss this option during checkout, simply let your provider know directly that you need an interpreter and specify the language or service, such as ASL.

Your provider will then set up the interpretation through KP NorCal's interpreter services program. You don't need to take any additional steps; your provider handles everything on their end.

All other Grow Therapy clients

Contact your provider through the client portal to request an interpreter. Let them know you need one and specify the language or service, such as ASL.

Most interpreter requests connect on demand, so you generally don't need advance notice; your provider can request an interpreter during your session itself. If you'd prefer to guarantee availability for a specific appointment, your provider can also schedule it at least 24 hours in advance.

Your provider will set up the interpretation on their end through Propio ONE. You don't need to take any additional steps before the session. During your telehealth appointment, your provider may share their screen so you can see the interpreter, or they may connect the interpreter directly to the call.
