Continuing Education for Mental Health Professionals
Enhance your psychoanalytic education with Depth Counseling's online CE courses.
Depth Counseling now offers online CEUs for social workers and psychotherapists
Depth Counseling offers courses worth continuing education credit for those pursuing certificates in clinical social work and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. We currently have three courses on offer, each worth one CE hour.
For a limited time, you may earn one free CE credit by enrolling in our first course, The Problem of the Negative Therapeutic Reaction, an analysis of Karen Horney's seminal paper presented by Depth Counseling's Founder and Clinical Director, Gregory S. Rizzolo, PhC LCPC. If you enjoy our first course, stick around and study two crucial papers by Sigmund Freud (that's two more CE hours for only $20 total!).
We plan to expand our offerings with many more courses and new instructors in the near future — stay tuned!
Accreditation
The Illinois Department of Federal and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) has approved Depth Counseling to issue continuing education credits for Licensed Clinical Social Workers. If you are watching from another state, please consult your local licensing board for information on whether your state will accept continuing education credits from Illinois.
