Join as a Developing Practitioner (Trainee)

Create a developing-practitioner workspace, connect with a mentor, and work toward approved practice sessions.

How this works

Develop with support, then practice when approved

Your mentor helps guide readiness. Aligned completes the final review. Your mentor does not need to attend every ordinary client session.

Read pathway overview

1. Connect with a mentor

2. Book mentorship as needed

3. Complete your checklist

4. Receive mentor and Aligned approval

5. Begin approved practice sessions

Before you begin

Make setup easier

Having these ready can make your setup faster:

1. Photo ID

Have a clear photo of your government-issued ID ready for verification.

2. Payout information

Stripe securely handles practitioner payouts. Having your banking or business information nearby will make payout setup faster.

You do not need to create a separate Stripe account beforehand.

3. Zoom account

If you offer virtual sessions, you’ll connect your own Zoom account before going live.

Start with your profile. Finish the technical setup when you’re ready.

You don’t have to finish everything today. Create your account, build your profile, and come back anytime. Stripe, Zoom, availability and calendar setup can be completed before your profile goes live.

Launch region

Aligned is available in Canada and the United States at launch.

I confirm I am 18 or older. Aligned accounts, bookings, practitioner applications, mentor accounts, and developing-practitioner accounts are 18+ only.

I have read and agree to the Practitioner Agreement, including Aligned's ethics, client-care, on-platform communication, and booking standards. Policy version: launch-canada-us-2026-final-review.

Developing Practitioner (Trainee) agreement

Developing practitioners stay private until linked to an approved mentor, marked ready, and approved by Aligned. Clients will see a clear Developing Practitioner label.

Mentorship appointments are booked separately through Aligned. Ordinary developing-practitioner client sessions are independent unless a service is specifically labeled mentor-supported.

I have read and agree to the Developing Practitioner Agreement and understand this is a distinct supervised path. Policy version: launch-canada-us-2026-final-review.

You can complete your setup over multiple sessions.

Most practitioner applications are reviewed within 1-2 weeks, though some may be completed sooner.

Your developing-practitioner profile remains private until an approved mentor accepts the connection, confirms readiness, and Aligned completes review.
