Cohort is the new therapist home built for prelicensed therapists and supervisors. It lets you know your next step to licensure, gives you an hour tracker tailored to your license track, and allows you to connect with your cohort along the way. Oh, and by the way, always FREE for prelicensed therapists.
Already tracking hours? Import what you've got in a click and ditch the platform you're paying for or the makeshift spreadsheet.
What Cohort does
Track your hours, correctly
The board counts them as two different things, so Cohort does too. Log a session in seconds, and your supervisor can review and approve each entry right in the app. Import what you've already tracked by CSV or PDF, and watch both totals move toward the numbers your license actually requires.
Always know your next step
Cohort shows you what's done, what's next, and what the board needs to see, so you stop guessing and start moving. No more piecing it together from forum threads and outdated PDFs.
Find your people again
Refer to each other. Staff cases. Ask the questions you feel dumb asking. The cohort you lost at graduation, rebuilt with everyone else figuring this out right now.
Verified therapists, walking the same road, within reach when you need them.
No catch
Prelicensure is expensive enough. Supervision, exams, application fees, all of it landing while you're building a caseload from nothing. You do not need one more subscription standing between you and your license.
Cohort is free for prelicensed clinicians. Not a trial. Not a teaser that locks the useful parts behind a paywall. Getting licensed here will always cost you nothing.
A letter from Stone
I was a fresh graduate from a Marriage and Family Therapy program in Tennessee when I moved back down to Georgia. Wide-eyed, ready to start my career and make a difference in this world. And finally get paid for it. But there was one thing: I had zero connections in the therapy world.
I went from a cohort of twelve who were with me every step to graduation, learning how to be therapists together, supporting each other, conceptualizing cases together. Then on graduation day, it all stopped. We all had to go our separate ways.
Me? I had to move out of state into new laws, new regulations, new systems, with no one there to guide me through the most ambiguous and confusing part of our profession: prelicensure. I was alone, confused, and stressed, all while trying to build a caseload.
I didn't know what step came before what. I struggled to find a supervisor. I was praying my forms were going to the board the right way. The waiting, the uncertainty, the fear of having to start over.
I don't even want to get into the financial side of it. It was a grueling season.
Somewhere in there, I learned that a therapist's main mode of community is Facebook groups. And there was no group for prelicensed therapists in Georgia. So I made one. The response, just from making it, was immediate and warm.
Then it hit me. Everyone in this stage was feeling exactly what I was feeling. The same struggle to find a good practice, the right supervisor, to get board submissions correct, to track hours, to not feel so alone.
Therapists serve people better when they're supported, connected, encouraged, and equipped with the right tools. There is a clear need for a therapist home. An official community where everyone gets it and everyone's verified. A place where you can conceptualize cases, refer to each other, and lift one another up. A platform built by therapists, made for therapists.
Let's stop trying to figure this out by ourselves and start linking arms. Join me in turning what can be the loneliest profession into the tightest-knit community there is.

The bigger idea
The tracker is how it starts. It's the thing that gets your hours in order and shows you the way to your license. But it's not the point.
The point is the community. A verified network of clinicians who refer to each other, staff cases together, and have each other's backs through the part of this career nobody warns you about. Built by therapists, for therapists, starting right here in Georgia.
This is the start of something. Get in early and help shape what it becomes.
Before you ask
Yes. Free for prelicensed clinicians, permanently. It's also free for supervisors right now to review and approve their supervisees' hours. Tracking your hours and getting licensed will never cost you anything on Cohort.
Prelicensed MFTs, APCs, and LMSWs in Georgia, plus the supervisors who approve their hours. If you're prelicensed in Georgia or you supervise someone who is, you're exactly who we're building for.
That is ok! You can still utilize the hours, supervisor approval, and community features. We are working to extend the licensure steps to your state as soon as possible! Share Cohort with others in your state to speed up the process!
We're heads down building it now. Get on the waitlist and you'll be among the first in the day it opens.
No. Bring what you've already logged in by CSV or PDF and pick up right where you are.

Get on the list. You'll be first through the door when Cohort opens, and you'll help shape what it becomes.
