For behavioral health companies, the therapist shortage takes a daily toll.
Higher recruiting costs that could go to staff development and adding other resources
Empty positions and constant turnaround distress patients who need continuity of care
Bigger caseloads and longer waiting lists mean a stressed-out staff at risk for burnout
This all means declining quality of care for the patients you serve.
Motivo clinical supervisors work with your associate therapists to ensure quality of care for your patients
Our organizations report 3 huge benefits when working with us
- Recruitment & retention improve because candidates appreciate having supervision as a benefit.
- Internal staff finds considerable relief from having Motivo handle clinical supervision responsibilities.
- Quality of care improves because Motivo clinical supervisors focus on clinical skills improvement.
"I work at a Domestic Violence Center and we contract out our clinical supervisors with Motivo. They are hands down the best agency to work with when it comes to contracting supervisors for our clinicians- from their super responsive customer service, to their great attitude, to the quality of the supervisor they provide, they get 5 stars all the way around.
Motivo leaves us feeling confident in the supervisors we have for our clinicians."
Nefta Pereda
Chief Program Officer Radiant Futures (domestic violence center)
"Motivo’s platform offers an effective approach to clinical supervision, which has a direct impact on strengthening the mental health workforce in California. We look forward to working together to support our member counties.
...our partnership with Motivo Health will help us achieve our goal of improving access to public behavioral health systems and programs for all Californians."
Lucero Robles
Quality Assurance and Compliance Director at CalMHSA
"One of the things we really like about Motivo is... it's as simple as clicking a link and filling out a very brief electronic form and then they do all the rest of the work.
They pair up our counselor with one of their supervisors. It's just so easy to use and there's such a vast network now.
Motivo has been able to... provide support and supervision to our counselors in every state we're in."
David Long
Chief Talent Officer at Pinnacle Treatment Centers

Frequently asked questions
Our clinical directors are overloaded with supervision duties. What can we do?
Outsourcing to a managed supervision platform reduces the burden. Motivo handles matching, scheduling, documentation, and state‑board compliance so your senior clinicians can focus on patient care.
What are our options besides building clinical supervision in-house?
Most organizations choose between (1) directories (DIY search), (2) marketplaces (self‑serve matching), or (3) managed platforms like Motivo. Managed platforms take responsibility for vetting, compliance, documentation, and ongoing supervision support.
How can we outsource clinical supervision instead of managing it ourselves?
The simplest route is a managed clinical supervision platform like Motivo. We match your pre‑licensed staff with vetted supervisors, handle credentialing and compliance, and manage scheduling and documentation—so supervision runs smoothly without internal overhead.
Can we use external clinical supervisors instead of hiring our own?
Yes. Motivo provides external clinical supervisors as a managed service. We're not a listing or marketplace—we provide the supervisors, verify credentials, and support the full supervision relationship with HIPAA‑compliant tools.
What's the fastest way to find qualified clinical supervisors for our staff?
Instead of hunting through directories, use a managed platform with an existing network. Motivo maintains 1,200+ vetted supervisors across all 50 states, so you can get matched quickly without doing your own search and vetting.
How do we handle supervision when our staff are in multiple states?
Multi‑state supervision works best with a platform that understands state‑by‑state rules. Motivo operates in all 50 states, matches clinicians to supervisors credentialed in their state, and ensures documentation meets each board's requirements.
