Reflective Training helps clinicians, students, and teams build counseling and communication skills through interpersonal practice, personalized feedback, and group reflection — guided by expert coaches.

Trusted across
Reflective Training combines live peer learning, structured feedback, and rubric-based skill measurement. Learners observe skills in action, practice them with others, and adapt them to their own professional settings through an ongoing cycle of discussion, rehearsal, and feedback.
Explore the concept, observe examples, and learn to recognize the skills in action.
Practice with peers in structured exercises while receiving structured feedback from coaches and peers.
Translate the skill into your own practice setting through discussion, problem-solving, and adaptation.
Studies in clinical training have shown again and again that workshops alone rarely change practice. Reflective Training combines structured practice, feedback, and reflection to help learners turn concepts into skills they can use in real conversations.
Each training area is built around the Reflective Training method, combining structured practice, feedback, reflection, and measurement to help learners develop real-world skill.
Reflective Training is supported by peer-reviewed research demonstrating measurable skill gains, effective performance by non-specialists, and real-world impact across behavioral health settings.

No — Reflective Training complements your existing curriculum. It plugs in alongside coursework as the practice + feedback + reflection layer that LMS systems traditionally lack.
Coaches and trained scorers review your recorded roleplays against validated behavioral rubrics (e.g. MI fidelity), surface specific moments, and give structured written feedback tied to your course milestones.
Yes. Our methodology is published in The Behavior Therapist (Fredrick et al., 2025) and developed at UT Health San Antonio's Department of Psychiatry.
Roleplay recordings are simulated (never real patients) and stored securely on U.S.-based AWS infrastructure, viewable only by you, your assigned coach, and designated scorers. We never sell your data or use it for advertising. See our Privacy Policy for details.
