Real world continuing education
Intersectional and practical tools to take your therapy practice to the next level
It's time to get excited!
Counseling continuing education is getting a makeover
What if continuing education was more than chasing endless certifications to feel competent?
What if it didn't cost thousands of dollars, or require you to extrovert at multiple conferences a year?
What if continuing education was focused on your questions, your lived experience, and issues that are important to you, not just the latest medicalized or commercialized trends?
Welcome to Creasman Counseling Continuing Education - A learning initiative designed by and for counselors & social workers.
