Frequently Asked Questions

 If I purchase the Unlimited CE bundle, what courses are included? 
All CE courses in our library are included with the Unlimited CE bundle - over 100 continuing education courses covering ethics, trauma, cultural competency, supervision, clinical skills, and more. New courses are added regularly, and you'll have access to those too. It's the most cost-effective way to complete all your renewal requirements in one place.
 When are your trainings for counselors, social workers, MFTs, and more available? 
All trainings published by Therapy Trainings are on-demand and available 24/7. You have instant access to all courses as soon as you enroll - no waiting for scheduled webinars or live sessions. Complete your CE hours on your own schedule, whether that's early morning, late night, or during lunch breaks. Pause and resume anytime.
 Is Therapy Trainings continuing education board-approved? 
Yes! We hold national approvals from NBCC (ACEP #7439), ASWB ACE (#1945), and NAADAC (#270493). These are the major CE approval bodies that most state licensing boards recognize. We also hold direct state board approvals in Kentucky, Ohio, and Florida. Visit our Board Approvals page for complete details.
 What are the online continuing education courses at Therapy Trainings like? 
Our on-demand CE courses are text-based, allowing you to progress at your own pace without waiting for videos to load or buffer. Each course includes professionally written content by licensed clinicians, followed by a quiz to confirm your learning. Once you pass the quiz, you'll receive your certificate of completion immediately - no waiting. Most courses take 1-3 hours to complete.
 How do I get my CE certificate after completing a course? 
Your CE certificate is generated instantly after you pass the course quiz. You can download it immediately as a PDF, and it's also saved in your account for future access. Each certificate includes your name, course title, CE hours earned, completion date, and our provider approval numbers. No waiting for certificates to be mailed or emailed separately.
 Does online CE count toward my license renewal? 
In most states, yes. The majority of licensing boards accept online (home study) CE courses from nationally approved providers like Therapy Trainings. Some states limit the number of online hours or require certain topics (like ethics or suicide prevention) to be completed live. Check your state's CE requirements page for specific rules.
 What's the lowest-price guarantee all about? 
We're confident our CE courses offer the best value. If you find a comparable course from another approved provider at a lower price, let us know and we'll give you a custom discount code to match or beat that price. Courses must be similar in content and CE hours. Just email us at [email protected] with the details.
 How long do I have access to courses after purchasing? 
Individual course purchases give you 12 months of access - complete them whenever you're ready. The Unlimited CE bundle gives you one full year of access to the entire course library from your purchase date.

What is Continuing Education for Mental Health Professionals?

Continuing education (CE) refers to the ongoing professional development required for licensed mental health professionals to maintain their credentials. State licensing boards mandate CE hours to ensure therapists, counselors, social workers, and addiction professionals stay current with evolving treatment methods, ethical standards, and legal requirements.

CE requirements vary by state and license type. Most states require between 20-40 hours per renewal cycle, with specific mandates for topics like ethics, cultural competency, suicide prevention, or domestic violence training. Completing CE through accredited providers like Therapy Trainings® ensures your hours count toward license renewal.

LPCs & LMHCs
Typically 20-40 CE hours per 2-year cycle
LCSWs & LSWs
Usually 30-45 CE hours per renewal period
LMFTs
Often 24-36 CE hours with ethics requirements
Addiction Counselors
Varies widely, often 40+ hours required

Why Continuing Education Matters for Therapists and Counselors

Beyond meeting licensure requirements, continuing education directly improves client outcomes and professional competence. Research consistently shows that clinicians who engage in ongoing learning provide more effective treatment and experience greater career satisfaction.

1
Stay Current with Evidence-Based Practices
Mental health treatment evolves rapidly. CE courses help you integrate the latest research on trauma-informed care, CBT techniques, DBT interventions, and emerging modalities into your clinical work.
2
Navigate Ethical Challenges Confidently
Ethics requirements exist because real dilemmas arise in practice. Quality ethics CE prepares you to handle confidentiality issues, dual relationships, boundary questions, and informed consent complexities.
3
Expand Your Clinical Specializations
CE provides pathways to develop expertise in areas like couples therapy, addiction treatment, child and adolescent counseling, EMDR, or grief and loss—expanding your practice and client base.
4
Protect Your License and Career
Failure to complete CE requirements can result in license suspension, fines, and inability to practice. Staying compliant protects your livelihood and the clients who depend on you.
