For LPC, LMFT, LCSW & ACSW associates

Supervision is one hour. This planner is for the other 167. The Therapist's Year is an undated planner and supervision hour log for associate-level therapists, built for the moments that actually shape a new clinician: between the sessions, after the hard client, in the quiet where you're learning who you're becoming.

Two volumes for your first two years, plus a companion journal for everything in between. Original Wisdom & Reflection Stories, guided growth activities, and clinical hour tracking.

Launch pricing live now through September 12. Both volumes $65, regularly $85.

Why therapists love this planner

More than a schedule. A year that grows you.

Every month is built as one connected experience: a theme, a story, reflection questions, a growth activity, and weekly encouragement that all reinforce each other.

Original Wisdom & Reflection Stories

Every month begins with an original story inspired by the real experiences of therapists. Each story introduces the month's theme and invites reflection before you begin planning.

A planner that supports more than your schedule

This isn't just a planner. Each month intentionally connects a theme, Wisdom & Reflection Story, guided reflection questions, growth activity, and weekly encouragement to create a cohesive experience that supports you both inside and outside the therapy room.

Stay on top of your associate progress

Track daily clinical hours, supervision hours, and supervision takeaways right inside your planner. Plus, every purchase includes complimentary access to the Clinical Hours Tracker, a comprehensive Google Sheets tool for detailed licensure hour tracking.

Designed for the early years of practice

Created for therapists navigating the transition from graduate school into associate practice, with lessons and reflections that continue to resonate well beyond licensure.

Beautifully crafted for everyday use

A premium 7 × 9 vegan leather cover, lay flat binding, ribbon bookmark, elastic closure, and interior storage pocket combine durability with a professional look you'll be proud to carry.

The thinking behind it

More than a planner. A guided year of professional growth.

Most planners help you organize your schedule. This one was created to support you through the early years of associate practice.

Monthly themeWisdom & Reflection StoryGuided reflection questionsGrowth activityWeekly encouragement

Before I became a therapist, I taught English. One thing I learned is that stories have a way of staying with us. Long after we've forgotten advice, we often remember the story that carried it.

That's what inspired the Wisdom & Reflection Stories.

Each month begins with an original story centered on a challenge therapists commonly experience. From there, the month unfolds intentionally through guided reflection questions, a growth activity, and weekly planning pages filled with encouragement, practical insights, and thoughtfully selected quotes that reinforce the same theme.

Rather than simply helping you organize your time, the planner creates a connected experience that supports your growth both inside and outside the therapy room.

Choose your volume

Choose your volume: Year One or Year Two.

The companion journal

Pair it with the Therapist Companion Journal.

The Therapist's Reflection, the companion journal cover

A progress note captures what happened in session. A reflection journal captures what happened to you because of the session.

The Therapist Companion Journal was created to help therapists process the moments that stay with them long after the session ends.

Together, the planner and journal create a complete system for organization, reflection, and sustainable growth throughout your associate journey.

The Became Collection · coming soon

Some of us came to this work with a story.

Long before the degree, the license, or the first client, there were experiences that shaped how we learned to see people, hold space, and understand what it means to be seen ourselves.

For some of us, those stories became part of the reason we chose this work. Became the therapist I once needed.

The collection is being finished now. It is not available to order yet.

About me

Why I created this planner.

One morning, I found myself sitting with a page full of questions.

How many clinical hours do I have left?
What do I need from my supervisor?
What is my specialty going to be, and should I have one by now?
What CE should I take next?

I felt overwhelmed trying to keep track of everything I was learning while also trying to become the therapist I wanted to be.

At first, I imagined creating something for supervisors. A resource that would help them better support the therapists they were mentoring.

But the more I thought about it, the more I realized the resource didn't need to be for supervisors.

It needed to be for therapists.

I wasn't looking for another planner. I was looking for a place to hold everything that didn't seem to have a place.

What started as an idea became nearly three years of writing, designing, and refining. The result is more than a planner. It's a companion designed to help therapists stay organized, reflect intentionally, and grow with confidence through the early years of practice and beyond.

I hope these pages become the kind of support I wish I'd had when I was just getting started.

Planner FAQs

Everything therapists ask before ordering.

Who are these planners for?

The Therapist's Year One and Year Two were inspired by the early years of associate practice, but they're designed to support therapists at every stage of their career.

Whether you're beginning your associate journey, newly licensed, or simply looking for a planner that supports both your schedule and your growth, these planners were created with you in mind. That includes LPC associates, LMFT associates, LCSWs, ACSWs, LMHCs and anyone logging supervised hours toward full licensure.

What's the difference between Volume I and Volume II?

Volume I: The Therapist's Year One focuses on the transition from graduate school into associate practice. It explores building confidence, finding your associate voice, navigating supervision, and adjusting to the emotional realities of being a therapist.

Volume II: The Therapist's Year Two builds on that foundation with themes that encourage deeper reflection on your evolving associate identity. The stories become more therapist centered, inviting you to think critically about your work, sustain your growth, and continue becoming the therapist you're meant to be.

While each planner can stand alone, they're intentionally designed to complement one another, making the greatest impact when experienced together.

Can I purchase the planners separately?

Yes! Each volume is available individually for $48 in hardcover, or $27 as a digital planner.

For the fullest experience, we recommend beginning with Volume I, as Volume II continues the journey and builds upon many of the themes introduced in the first planner.

Want both? Save with the bundle.

  • Both hardcover volumes: $85 regularly
  • Launch price: $65, now through September 12
  • Both digital volumes: $49
Is there a digital version?

Yes. Both planners are available in physical and digital formats.

Physical planners

  • Premium 7 × 9 vegan leather cover
  • Lay flat binding
  • Ribbon bookmark
  • Interior pocket
  • Elastic closure

Digital planners

  • Designed for digital planning apps like Goodnotes
  • Same thoughtful content in a convenient digital format

Digital planners are available for $27 per volume.

What is the Therapist Companion Journal?

The Companion Journal was created to complement the planners by giving therapists a dedicated space to process the experiences that don't belong in a calendar.

A progress note captures what happened in session. A reflection journal captures what happened to you because of the session.

Whether you're working through a difficult session, celebrating a breakthrough, or making sense of your own reactions before supervision, the journal helps you reflect, build confidence, and strengthen your associate identity over time.

The Companion Journal is digital only and is available for $14.

Does the planner include clinical hour tracking?

Yes. Each planner includes space to track your daily clinical hours, supervision hours, and supervision takeaways.

Every purchase also includes access to the Comprehensive Clinical Hours Tracker, a Google Sheets tool designed to help you organize direct hours, indirect hours, supervision, and your progress toward licensure. Be sure to look for the link on your order confirmation screen.

When can I order?

Right now. Orders ship within two business days.

The two-volume bundle is $65 through September 12. After that it goes to its regular $85.

What if I'm not an associate therapist?

That's perfectly okay.

Although these planners were inspired by the associate therapist journey, the themes of confidence, associate growth, boundaries, self reflection, and therapist well being continue long after licensure. Many fully licensed therapists have found Volume II especially relevant because the lessons evolve alongside your career.
