Therapist Aid provides expertly designed, research-informed tools and education for mental health professionals and their clients.
Our Story
While working in community mental health, Woody Schuldt (LMHC, FL) found that many of the therapy worksheets available online were either full of jargon and out of touch with his clients or lacked a scientific foundation. Woody began creating the worksheets he needed for his own practice and sharing them with other mental health professionals.
Therapist Aid grew quickly via word of mouth by providing resources that are simple, research-informed, and genuinely useful. Before long, the library grew to include not only worksheets, but also audio, video, guides, and more.
As demand grew, so did the team. Today, Therapist Aid supports over a million mental health workers around the world with a small team of clinicians, artists, web developers, and other professionals.
Who We Are

A decade later, he continues to develop new therapy tools while managing the Therapist Aid team. In his free time, Woody likes to play tennis, re-watch Mad Men, game with his friends, and drink coffee on the banks of the St. John’s River.

What Sets Us Apart
Distilling complicated ideas into clearly written, easy-to-understand therapy tools is harder than it looks. Our team of mental health professionals, writers, and designers takes every detail into consideration to create a product that is deceptively simple. Here’s our process.
Every therapy tool starts with a brainstorming session. What challenges are clinicians facing that we could help alleviate? What is our community asking for? At this stage, we think broadly about client populations, therapeutic approaches, and scientific support for various interventions, until we’ve settled on a general idea to explore.

Brainstorm
Before writing a single word, we hit the books. Using academic journals and other resources, we learn everything we can about a topic. We explore common interventions, emerging trends, and evaluate the tools that already exist. The goal of this stage is to turn our general idea into something specific that’s backed by science.

Research
Finally, pen hits paper. Therapist Aid’s mental health professionals and designers collaborate to create a tool that is helpful, accurate, and easy to understand. During this stage, we get a sense of how it feels to use the new resource. If things aren’t just right, we go back to the drawing board.

Draft
“Brevity is the soul of wit.” We take this wisdom to heart. During the revision stage, every word goes under the microscope. We devote hours to condensing, cutting, and rephrasing to make sure every therapy tool is as simple and accessible as possible, without losing nuance and accuracy.

Revise & Re-Revise
It’s done! Well, almost. Now we fact-check, test the completed tool,
and optimize designs for printing. Once everything is locked in, we write instructions
for the resource, compile our references, send files to professional translators, and create
variations for subscribers (such as customizable and fillable worksheets).
Finally—about 3 months after the process began—we send a new therapy tool out into the world.
