Purpose
The programs and trainings listed in the Workshop Calendar are organized by national state or local training organizations or by fellow therapists to help you meet your professional training requirements and are presented in Washington State.
The CounselingSeattle.com Workshop Calendar is intended to publicize programs that provide the mental health counselor, therapist, social worker, psychotherapist, chemical dependency professional or psychologist with training activities to meet Washington State requirements for licensed counselors and professionals in psychology.
Whether you are looking for CEU's, CECs, (work shops in professional continuing education units, or continuing education credits) satisfying continuing licensure or certification requirements or just want to add to your social work or counseling skills, the wide selection of program offerings help to satisfy a great variety of special interests and needs. Return to this page each month as offerings change month.
Licensure and certification in professional counseling require the therapist to participate continuing education to strengthen counselor psychotherapy skills and abilities.
Note on us: on CounselingSeattle.com Workshop Calendar page. Adding an apostrophe to a set of initials is a possessive form which we consider incorrect usage. Therefore, we use upper case initials with a lower case "s" to show the plural form. Specifically, we use "CEUs" for Continuing education units [rather than CEU's], "CECs" for Continuing Education Credits [rather than CEC's], CEHs for Continuing Education Hours [rather than CEH's] and PDHs for Professional Development Hours [rather than PDH's].
List Your Workshop or Training
Advertise your workshop or training on the CounselingSeattle.com Workshop Calendar. What are the rules about who can offer continuing education credits to counselors?
The topics listed or scheduled on this counselor training Workshop Calendar include a broad scope of topics from professional certification programs, therapy techniques (hypnosis or hypnotherapy, EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, etc.), to testing (SASSI-III, etc), to basic psychological concepts (abnormal psychology), to understanding and treatment for specific client problems (abuse, ADHD, alcoholism, addiction, anger, anxiety, bereavement, depression, drug abuse, grief and loss, rage, self-injury as a coping mechanism, etc.), to broader background topics (pharmacology, medication monitoring, parenting problems, chemical dependency treatment), nutrition, and to relatively new concepts (emotional intelligence, etc.).
