Motivo Health operates an online marketplace connecting licensed mental health therapists with clinical supervisors in a fully virtual environment. The company partners with community mental health organizations, treatment centers, and digital health companies to provide access to vetted supervisors and has helped over 2,500 therapists obtain licensure. Founded in 2018 by licensed therapist Rachel McCrickard, Motivo has grown to 23 full-time employees and made key executive hires including Michael Chen (CTO/Co‑founder) and Sarah Louragh (COO) in 2020; Dr. Carla Smith joined as Chief Clinical Officer earlier in the year. With the new financing, Motivo plans to grow its sales and engineering teams, pursue additional contracts with behavioral health organizations, digital health companies, and health plans, and sign channel partnerships with graduate universities. It also plans to expand into continuing education for therapist re-certification and build products for clinical staff augmentation and direct service delivery. The company has raised a total of $16.3 million to date. Motivo operates a tele-supervision platform that connects recent graduates to clinical supervisors so they can complete required in-person consultation hours via secure video conferencing where state rules allow. The company is led by CEO and founder Rachel McCrickard and is based in Atlanta, GA. Motivo recruits supervisors and recent graduates across therapy, counseling, social work and psychology disciplines to help fulfill licensure requirements analogous to a medical residency. After graduating from the 2018 Techstars Atlanta accelerator program, Motivo added Tim Howe of Cox Enterprises to its board. The company intends to use recent funding to grow its team, acquire contracts with mental health agencies and clinics, and sign channel partnerships with therapist associations and universities. Its business model centers on enabling remote clinical supervision to meet state regulatory allowances driven by the rise of telehealth.
