Add a supervisee
Updated August 14, 2026
Before you begin
You need permission to add supervisees. If your organization uses programs, you may also need to choose a program when adding the person.
Add one supervisee
Enter the supervisee's current information so Motivo can create the correct account and supervision profile.
- Select Supervisees from the main navigation.
- Select Add more supervisees.
- Open Enter supervisee information if the portal presents a choice of methods.
- Enter the supervisee's name, email, state, license information, timezone, and requested supervision types.
- Complete any organization-specific fields, such as Program, Billing code, employment information, work setting, or Planned start date (optional).
- Select Submit or Add supervisee, depending on the form shown for your organization.
The supervisee receives an email inviting them to set a password and finish setting up their Motivo account. They may appear as pending until that step is complete.
Choose the next supervision step
Some organizations can choose an in-house supervisor while adding the supervisee. Others can select Request a Motivo supervisor after entering the supervisee's details. If neither option appears, the supervisee is added without an active supervisor and your organization can handle that step separately.
If the form cannot add the supervisee
Check the email address first. An existing Motivo account or a duplicate address may need to be connected to your organization instead of recreated. Also confirm any required program and licensing fields.
Adding a supervisee does not mean their first session is booked. After the account and supervision relationship are ready, the supervisor or supervisee books sessions in their Motivo account.
