Supervision that grows clinicians, not just paperwork
Good supervision is more than signing off on notes. Ted’s goal is to help each clinician get better at the work, understand their clients more deeply, and stay in this field for the long haul.
Build real skills
Practice, feedback and coaching on the moments that matter most: the first session, the stuck case, the hard conversation.
Understand the client
Strong case conceptualization helps clinicians see the whole person behind the diagnosis, so treatment plans actually fit.
Prevent burnout
Clinicians who feel capable and supported stay longer. Ted makes caring for the helper part of every supervision.
Practice with an AI client before it counts
For the past two years, Ted has used an AI chatbot that plays the role of a client. Clinicians practice assessment, diagnosis, Motivational Interviewing and treatment planning in real time, then debrief with Ted.

- Rehearse the tough cases: ambivalence, co-occurring disorders, crisis
