The Motivo Story

Our CEO and Co-Founder, Rachel McCrickard, created Motivo after spending a year driving two hours to get to the closest supervisor. Rachel knew there had to be a better way to complete her supervision requirements and, a few years later, Motivo was born.

Motivo (mō-tea-vō) means “foundation” in Portuguese and we chose the name with intention. We believe clinical supervision is the foundation of a therapist’s career, and that starts with having access to the right supervisor, not just the one closest by.

We are excited to build a world where supervision hours aren’t simply a box you check on the road toward licensure, but rather a formative experience that guides and develops you into the clinician you want to become.
