Certificate – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Given the current economic climate in our country, many clients, referral sources, and third-party payers are looking to short-term, goal-oriented treatments as the standard of practice. CBT is an effective, time sensitive, evidenced-based treatment approach for a variety of conditions including anxiety disorders and depression. Building your CBT skill set will benefit your clients greatly, as well as your clinical practice.

This contemporary CBT certificate will allow you to get an in depth understanding of cognitive-behavioral interventions and will also introduce you to the acceptance- and mindfulness-based (3rd generation) therapies. Participants will be able to tailor the certificate toward their particular interests in clinical practice, with an emphasis on PTSD/Trauma, Eating Disorders, or 3rd Generation (DBT, ACT, & Mindfulness-Based) approaches.

Certificate requirements: A minimum of 60 hours is required. This includes five core courses and at least three electives. New electives will be available in each catalog and different core courses are offered throughout the year.

Additional Elective Courses: All courses in the Mindfulness-Based Therapies Workshop Series can be applied as electives to the CBT certificate program!
