Professional Counselor Continuing Education

What are MHC CEUs?

MHC CEUs, or Continuing Education Units, are a crucial measure of professional development for licensed mental health counselors, licensed creative arts therapists, and licensed marriage and family therapists. Each CEU represents 10 hours of instruction, designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of mental health practitioners. These units are essential for staying current with industry trends and best practices, ensuring that mental health counselors and other professionals maintain their licensure and continue to provide high-quality care.

What is Continuing Education for Licensed Mental Health Counselors?

The New York State Education Department mandates that LMHCs complete a specific number of continuing education hours every three years to retain their licensure. These courses are meticulously designed to help LMHCs stay abreast of industry trends, best practices, and research-based interventions. By engaging in continuing education, mental health counselors can ensure they are providing the highest quality care to their clients, staying informed about the latest developments in mental health, and meeting the rigorous standards set by the New York State Education Department.
