Shelly Vie has spent more than 25 years working in higher education, including behavioral health and international education. As a former MFT student, Shelly understands the challenge of balancing graduate school, a full-time job, and family responsibilities — and she has a heart for the dedication and sacrifice that licensure candidates bring to their careers.

After speaking with thousands of exam candidates over the years, she knows that no two journeys look exactly alike. Her goal is to remove barriers, help students find resources that fit their learning needs, and make exam preparation feel a little less overwhelming and a lot more achievable.
