Employer general FAQs

What is Motivo?

Motivo is the largest virtual supervision platform that gives employers and pre-licensed clinicians the supervision that they need to see patients and get licensed. Check out our website with this link!

What are Motivo's core values?

Motivo has four core values. These are the values that guide our work, keep us focused, and help us solve problems. -Invest in Impact We are committed to our cause of solving the shortage of mental health providers and we focus on the areas that yield the most impactful results.

• Dig Deep We intentionally foster an environment of self-work and cultural humility. We are curious and introspective. We engage in lifelong learning.
• Take Ownership When we see a problem, we feel empowered to fix it. We trust each other to make the right decisions.
• Think like a Therapist We are empathic, open-minded, and honest. We use direct, clear, and kind communication and we always assume good intent.

How does Motivo work with behavioral health employers?

• Motivo partners with many different types of behavioral health employers, including: community mental health centers, non-profit organizations, digital health apps, treatment centers, hospital systems, and health plans.
• We assign each employer partner to a dedicated Care Team who ensures you are matched with the best supervisors for your organization, helps train supervisors on your internal processes, and remains in close contact with you to make sure you have everything you need.

How do I access the supervisor directory?

To access all of the amazing supervisors who offer supervision through Motivo, simply click on Find a Supervisor in the top right-hand corner of your screen on the Motivo Health website. You can also access the directory through this link.
