You're doing everything right.
— and somehow it still feels like nobody is telling you anything. Not the real stuff anyway. The business side nobody teaches. The supervision questions you're afraid to ask. The wins that feel too small to mention anywhere else. The hard days that don't fit in a 50-minute session. The Bestie Collective exists because the prelicensed experience deserves better. A few offerings. One community. No withholding information.
— Casey Davids, M.Ed., LPC-S
The After Hours ✨
The everyday community for prelicensed clinicians in all 50 states.
Because the hard stuff doesn't only happen during your 50-minute drop-in.
The After Hours is a verified Discord community for LPC-Associates, LMSW interns, counseling students, and anyone currently working toward full licensure — in any state.
Bring your wins that feel too small to say out loud anywhere else. Bring the referral you need to make but don't know who to call. Bring the supervision question you've been sitting with for a week. Bring the hard day that needs to be witnessed — not fixed.
This is a space where the information flows freely, the gatekeeping stays at the door, and the people around you actually understand what it feels like to be in the in-between.

The Unsupervised Hours 🌙
The Unsupervised Hours 🌿 — A monthly drop-in for prelicensed therapists in all 50 states.
Because you spend enough hours being supervised. This one's just for you.
The Unsupervised Hours is a monthly live drop-in for LPC-Associates, LMSW interns, LMFT interns, counseling students, and anyone currently working toward full licensure — in any state.
Bring your real questions. Bring the things you're afraid to ask in supervision. Bring the confusion, the imposter syndrome, the 'am I doing this right' spiral that hits at 11pm before a full caseload day.
This is 50 minutes of honest conversation with an LPC-S who has been in this field for 20 years and still believes the prelicensed experience should be a whole lot better than it usually is.
No lecture. No performance. No exploitation.

How to set limits with clients when you're still learning
Navigating crisis situations with more confidence
Building a career that doesn't burn you out before you're licensed

FAQ
Do I need to attend live? Yes — The Unsupervised Hours is live-only, no recordings. It's built to be a real conversation, not a webinar you half-watch later.
What if I can't make a session? No problem. There's no subscription and no attendance requirement — drop in the months that work for you and skip the ones that don't.
Do these count toward my supervision hours or CEs? No. This is professional development and peer support — not clinical supervision, and CEs are not provided.
What's the vibe? Casual, honest, unscripted. Bring whatever's actually on your mind — there's no agenda beyond yours.
Next Session: September 24th @ 12:30pm
Important: These sessions are professional development and peer community — not clinical supervision and not a replacement for your board-required supervision hours.
A no-pressure way to sample the community before committing to The After Hours
The Licensed Lounge 🛋️
Coming November 2026
The everyday community for fully licensed therapists in all 50 states.
Because the questions don't stop when the exam does — they just change.
The Licensed Lounge is a verified Discord community for fully licensed LPCs, LCSWs, LMFTs, and psychologists — anyone who made it through and is figuring out what comes next.
Bring the "how do I hire my first associate" question nobody prepared you for. Bring the insurance panel that's ghosting you. Bring the supervisee who's testing your patience. Bring the private practice numbers you're too nervous to run out loud. Bring the days scaling something you built from nothing feels like too much to carry alone.
This is a space where the business side gets talked about honestly, the clinical conversation stays sharp, and the people around you are actually a few years — not a career — ahead of or behind you.
