"I keep calling in sick because I can't face my coworker. It's been three weeks now and I think my boss is catching on."
"It sounds like this situation at work is affecting multiple areas of your life. Can you tell me more about what happens when you think about going in?"
"My chest gets tight and I start thinking about all the ways it could go wrong..."

The clinical training workflow is broken

📹

No safe practice space

Students wait weeks for live clients. Peer role-play lacks clinical complexity. Real sessions can't be repeated or rewound.

📋

Hours scattered everywhere

Direct hours, indirect hours, group supervision, individual supervision tracked across spreadsheets, PDFs, and separate apps.

📝

Documentation taught last

SOAP notes, DAP notes, treatment plans, case conceptualizations are critical skills but students only practice them in field placements.

📚

Exam prep is disconnected

NCE, NCMHCE, and CPCE preparation lives in yet another silo with no connection to clinical training.
