</aside>
Every year, thousands of brilliant psychology students graduate with extensive theoretical knowledge but minimal practical experience. They enter their first client sessions feeling unprepared, anxious, and overwhelmed.
We knew there had to be a better way.
The idea for CBTLAB was born from a simple observation: pilots don't learn to fly by reading manuals—they use flight simulators. Mental health practitioners deserve the same safe, realistic training environment.
Our AI analyzes thousands of clinical presentations to create diverse, realistic client profiles with authentic symptoms, backgrounds, and therapeutic challenges that match real-world practice.
When I began my CBT training, I struggled to find enough opportunities for real practice, meaningful supervision, or resources that would truly prepare me for working with clients. Even after I started my practice, every new client brought a sense of anxiety - what if I’m not ready to handle this case?
That’s why, from the very beginning, we had one clear idea: make CBT training more practical. We set out to build a platform that gives learners the kind of hands-on experience, feedback, and confidence we wished we had.
