Free tool for therapists
A drag-and-drop tool for working through caseload changes — without touching your real calendar.
The problem
Once you have a full practice, making big changes gets complicated. Associates getting licensed, therapists moving offices, life requiring a schedule overhaul: suddenly you're holding a dozen moving pieces. Doing that inside your real calendar is stressful. This is a scratchpad. Move things around freely, have the conversations with clients, keep adjusting until it all fits. Touch your real calendar once you know it works.

How it works
Add clients to the pool on the left, drag them onto the grid, drop at any hour or half-hour. Move things around freely — nothing here touches your real calendar. When a client confirms their slot, click the ? on their card and it flips to a ✓ with a thin outline, so you can see at a glance what's settled and what's still in play.
Why I built this
The first was when I left Well Clinic and went into private practice. I was holding around twenty clients and genuinely didn't know how many would want to follow me to a new location or rearrange their schedules. I worked through the possibilities with pen and paper before any conversations happened — it worked, but this would have made it a lot easier.
They all came with me, as it turned out. But I didn't know that yet.
The second time was coming back to the office after COVID. Everyone's life had shifted. Mine had too. What had worked before didn't anymore.
The third time was when I moved to the river and needed to consolidate my remote clients onto the same day to make maintaining my San Francisco office sustainable. That meant asking people to shift and keeping track of what was settled while the puzzle came together.
So I built this.

About
I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. I work with individuals who feel like misfits in their culture or family, and with couples navigating intercultural relationships. I also supervise associate therapists at Big Life Change Therapy, and consult with licensed clinicians on integrating psychodynamic and somatic orientations.
I built this tool because I needed it. If it's useful to you, I'd love to hear about it.
