SimCare

AI Client simulations for better counselor training

Visit SimCare

SimCare is an AI-powered platform designed to replace traditional role-playing in counselor training. It solves the problem of inconsistent, limited, and outdated practice methods by allowing students to conduct full counseling sessions with virtual AI client avatars, providing a safe and scalable way to build practical skills before clinical placements.

The platform features over 500 counselor-designed avatars, ranging from children to older adults, covering a wide range of presenting problems. Students can conduct full sessions, build ongoing relationships with the same client through follow-ups and messaging, and receive instant feedback on tone, empathy, communication, nonverbal cues, diagnostic accuracy, and clinical skills. The platform includes session video review, skills assessment, and transcript viewing. It also offers live session listening and feedback capabilities for instructors.

SimCare is designed for universities, government agencies, training organizations, and private companies in disciplines such as psychology, psychiatry, clinical counseling, social work, school counseling, and behavioral health. It is built to scale for programs of any size and can integrate with an LMS. The platform offers flexible billing options for institutions, including direct payment, student lab fees, or grant-based funding.
