Becoming a licensed psychologist shouldn’t depend on someone else’s availability. Yet today, thousands of psychology students face delayed careers and lost opportunities—not because they lack dedication, but because the system restricts access. Supervisor shortages, location limits, and rigid structures keep qualified students from progressing, forcing them to give up entirely.
Psyve was created to change that, not as a shortcut but as a serious, structured, and scalable platform that puts the process back in the student’s hands.
Founded by a psychology student known publicly as Miss A, Psyve is built on lived experience. With a bachelor’s and master’s in psychology, and now nearing completion of a PhD, Miss A faced the same broken process many others do: unanswered internship applications, unavailable supervisors, and licensure timelines that felt like moving goalposts.
Her response wasn’t frustration—it was creation.
Psyve emerged from a simple but urgent question: What if we didn’t have to wait anymore?
Unlike any existing platform, Psyve is being developed as the first to offer a fully board-compliant path to completing 100% of Supervised Professional Experience (SPE) hours online. While other options may provide limited support or basic supervisor listings, Psyve is specifically designed to meet the regulatory standards of the California Board of Psychology, with plans to expand nationally. The platform combines licensed supervision, structured feedback, realistic training environments, and secure documentation into one scalable system. This approach eliminates common barriers and delays in the licensure process, allowing students to earn their hours on their own schedule, without compromising quality, legitimacy, or compliance.
Psyve’s mission emphasizes that the pathway to becoming a mental health professional should not be contingent on external limitations but should be driven by the student’s ambition, discipline, and access. The platform provides a scalable system where students retain control over their progress, a notable departure from existing supervision models that often involve high costs and long waits. Psyve’s design reflects a commitment to aligning technology with psychology’s core values rather than replacing the human element integral to the profession.
The psychology field has long resisted technology integration, often out of concern for preserving its authenticity. But Miss A argues that technology doesn’t have to replace humanity—it can support it.
“The future of psychology isn’t about replacing the human element—it’s about empowering it. Technology should never act alone. But if we reject it completely, we risk leaving the field behind. Psyve is a bridge between what psychology has always been and what it needs to become,” she explains.
Currently in development, Psyve is actively seeking funding and strategic partnerships to bring the platform to life. The vision is clear: build a board-compliant system that serves students nationwide—one that finally makes progress possible without unnecessary obstacles.
Psyve is also the first of many projects under Ahira, a company committed to rebuilding broken systems across wellness, education, and technology. Ahira’s approach is bold: replace outdated models with human-centered alternatives that prioritize ethics, care, and long-term impact.
“With the rising demand for mental health professionals, a solution like Psyve isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. The time to reimagine psychology licensure is now. When you build with care, you don’t just solve problems—you prevent them.”
— Miss A, Founder of Psyve
“We’re not here to compete with the old system. We’re here to replace it.”
— Miss A, Founder of Psyve
This philosophy underpins Psyve’s approach: a digital platform that complements human oversight through scalable, secure, and structured processes. By doing so, Psyve aims to modernize supervised experience requirements while upholding professional standards. Its planned expansion across multiple states reflects a vision of nationwide reform in how psychology students complete their licensure.
Miss A’s leadership is especially notable because Psyve wasn’t created in theory—it emerged from direct experience. Its design is rooted in solving real barriers and creating tangible progress for future psychologists navigating a complex system.
Psyve is for every student who has ever been told to wait. It’s the first step in something bigger—a future where students no longer depend on broken systems to move forward but on tools built with them in mind.
