Elevate your clinical proficiency through realistic AI simulation and focused skill training. This comprehensive bundle provides therapists, graduate students, and supervisors with the tools to refine and master the foundational micro-skills essential for effective behavioral health practice.
In behavioral health fields—including psychology, social work, counseling, MFT, and addiction studies—we learn the theories and understand the concepts. However, knowing about a skill is fundamentally different from being able to execute it fluidly in the dynamic, nuanced environment of a therapy session.
Traditional training methods often fall short of providing the focused repetition and objective feedback needed for true mastery.
The Clinical Micro-Skills Activities Bundle utilizes cutting-edge AI simulation technology to transform theoretical knowledge into practical expertise. Our approach is grounded in the principles of mastery-based learning, the gold standard for skill acquisition.
We segment complex skills into smaller, manageable components.
You engage in focused repetitions within realistic clinical scenarios.
You receive instant, criteria-based feedback from an AI instructor.
Step into the therapist's chair and interact with our AI client avatars (such as Jordan). The AI presents realistic narratives, complex emotions, and subtle non-verbal cues, responding dynamically to your interventions.
Practice challenging conversations and interventions without risk.
Target specific areas for improvement, from basic attending to advanced influencing skills.
Practice at your own pace, adjusting the difficulty level to stay in the optimal learning zone.
This bundle includes 12 distinct activities covering the spectrum of essential clinical communication and intervention skills.
Begin your journey with the Clinical Micro-Skills Competency Evaluation: Guided Practice Session with Jordan. This unique activity allows you to engage with an AI client to identify your current strengths and pinpoint specific micro-skills where you need to focus your development. It’s the perfect way to see where you need work and then dive into the targeted activities below to improve your skills.
