Free CEUS for Counselors & Psychologists
Miranda Palmer. LMFT Private Practice Expert
Helping Therapists Build Happy, Profitable Private Practices that Deeply Help Clients
There is nothing like a great training to inspire you and change you as a therapist from the inside out. Sometimes these trainings qualify for continuing education units; sometimes they do not.
As a licensed professional counselor, licensed marriage and family therapist, licensed clinical social worker, or psychologist, you are required to get continuing education regularly so that you can maintain your license.
Whether you are on a budget, only need a few last minute CEs, or you are looking for a great CE course, we have you covered!
Below, find a list of FREE CE courses. We will continue to update this, so if you know of a great FREE CE course, feel free to add it in the comments to have it considered for inclusion!
A few quick notes:
Always double-check that the CE approvals are up to date and work for your license in your state. If you have updates to any of these listings, please comment below and we can update the material. We have not been exhaustive with every approval. We have focused on approvals for counselors, social workers, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, and mental health counselors. A few of these also have approvals for Canada!
We can not guarantee the quality or content of these courses, as we have not reviewed each of them on our own. Please use your best judgement whenever taking in new materials. But, we’d love to hear what your favorites are in the comments!
These are in no particular order. Click on titles to get more information and link the free CEUs for counselors, social workers, and psychologists.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
1 年Are there any NJ LMFT's here that know whether live virtual conferences qualify as face-to-face for CEU's? I know with covid things have relaxed but I am unsure whether virtual live meetings will count. I'm sure I will receive an answer faster here than I would if I contact the board. Thanks in advance! (P.s. if you have any recommendations for in person CE trainings, please share!)
