Alignment

Roughly 50% of the U.S. population lives within a mental health workforce shortage area. As a result, nearly 60% of practitioners serving patients with anxiety and depression no longer have openings for new patients.1 Many would-be providers never become licensed due to onerous and costly supervision rules.

Motivo makes it easy for pre-licensed therapists and counselors to get access to clinical supervisors, helping them complete the supervision hours necessary to obtain a license.

By facilitating virtual supervision, Motivo expands the reach of clinical supervisors and enables them to serve therapists living in mental health shortage areas for a fraction of the cost and time it would take through traditional methods, incentivizing more agencies and therapists to utilize the platform.
