Look, you already know the drill: every few years, you have to rack up a certain number of continuing education (CE) credits to keep your license. And every few years, you tell yourself you’ll stay ahead of the game, be proactive, and take courses that actually improve your clinical skills.
But let’s be real – that’s not what happens. Instead, you put it off until the last possible moment, frantically Googling “cheap online CEUs” while wondering if that one sketchy site from 2009 that still offers unlimited credits for $19.99 is technically legit. Spoiler: It’s not.
Meet Alex, a mental health professional like you. Alex thought they could outsmart the CE system by signing up for the easiest, fastest courses possible. Unfortunately, what Alex got was a dumpster fire of regurgitated textbook jargon, outdated research, and the educational equivalent of watching paint dry.
By the time Alex’s license renewal deadline hit, they were stuck in CE purgatory – wading through hours of lifeless content, questioning their life choices, and wondering why no one told them they’d still be writing essays after grad school.
Sound familiar? Yeah, we thought so.
Here’s the thing: CE should actually help you be a better clinician. It should give you tools you can use, challenge the way you think, and make you feel like you’re actually investing in your professional growth – not just checking a bureaucratic box.
That’s where we come in.
We designed the Licensure Renewal Package to be everything bad CE isn’t: engaging, research-backed, and (dare we say it?) actually useful. This isn’t just another “watch a boring video and pass a multiple-choice quiz” situation. These courses will make you better at what you do – and they won’t put you to sleep in the process.
Ethics courses are usually about as exciting as watching a PowerPoint slideshow from 1998. Not this one. You’ll get a deep dive into how your personal values and professional ethics collide, along with an actual process to make ethical decisions confidently (rather than just panicking and hoping for the best).
Just because you can offer telehealth doesn’t mean you should. This course gives you the skills to figure out whether telehealth is right for your clients – and how to handle those awkward “but I only want virtual sessions” conversations like a pro.
You know how every therapist you follow on Instagram has wildly different ideas about what’s ethical online? This course cuts through the nonsense and gives you a clear, research-backed framework for navigating the social media minefield without losing your license.
If you’re tired of diagnosis feeling like a rigid, clinical exercise instead of a meaningful part of therapy, this course will change how you work. Learn how to integrate cultural humility and narrative therapy to make the diagnostic process something that actually helps your clients instead of reducing them to a checklist of symptoms.
Advocacy is hard. Watching systems fail your clients is even harder. If you’re feeling the emotional and psychological weight of fighting the good fight, this course helps you understand and heal the moral injury that comes with being a mental health professional who actually cares.
Managing suicide risk is terrifying when you don’t have a clear plan. This course gives you an actual framework for assessing risk, intervening effectively, and creating collaborative safety plans – all while keeping your stress levels under control.
Paperwork is the worst. But what if you could create treatment plans that actually work – and do it in ten minutes? This course gives you a streamlined process (based on Self-Determination Theory, which no one taught you in grad school) and a digital download to make treatment planning less painful.
Investing in quality CE isn’t just about getting those credits – it’s about becoming the kind of clinician who thrives instead of just surviving. These courses give you the tools to be more confident, effective, and engaged in your work, which means better outcomes for your clients and less burnout for you.
And the best part? You don’t have to wait until you’re in panic mode. Knock out your CE now with courses that actually make you better at what you do. Future You will thank you.
It’s time to stop dreading CE and start using it to level up. Grab the Licensure Renewal Package today and make your next renewal cycle the one where you actually enjoy the process. (Yes, really.)
