The Problem

Program directors manage 4 platforms.
Students bounce between all of them.

The average counseling program uses SimCare for simulation, Tevera for hours, a separate tool for supervision, and yet another for exam prep. That's four logins, four invoices, and four systems to learn.

📲

Tool sprawl kills adoption

Students disengage when training tools are scattered. The more platforms you add, the less students use any of them consistently.

📋

Hours tracking is a spreadsheet nightmare

Direct, indirect, group, and individual supervision hours tracked across PDFs, forms, and manual logs — only to be compiled once a semester.

🔒

No safe practice environment

Students wait weeks for live clients. Peer role-play lacks DSM-5 clinical complexity. First real sessions can't be replayed or reviewed.

📚

Exam prep is disconnected from training

CPCE and NCE prep happens in a silo. Students finishing their practicum start studying from scratch with separate tools months later.

Platform Features

Everything your program needs. One platform.

From first simulation session to CPCE prep — built around the CACREP 2024 standards your program is already required to meet.

🧠
Core Feature

AI Client Simulation

Students practice real counseling sessions with AI clients trained on DSM-5-TR presentations. Dynamic responses that react to counseling approach, pacing, and empathy.

  • 12 microskills tracked per message in real time
  • Supervisor review with timestamped comments
  • Session transcripts available for faculty grading
📊
Assessment Library

Clinical Assessments

Students learn when and how to administer validated assessment instruments — the way they'll use them in real practice, not just as rote memorization.

  • PHQ-9, GAD-7, C-SSRS auto-scored
  • AUDIT, PCL-5, BDI-II, and dozens more
  • In-session administration capability
  • Interpretation training built in
⏱️

  • Spaced repetition flashcards
