New York Mental Health Counselors Association
Continuing Education Program
NYMHCA's continuing education program was developed to provide you with the continuing education programs that you need to fulfill your LMHC license renewal process every 3 years.
NYMHCA will offer only live, in-person programs such as workshops given during our regional chapter meetings, webinars and workshops given during our biennial conventions. Attendees will fill out and hand in a survey and receive their completion certificates!
*** If you attend a CEU workshop presented by one of NYMHCA's 10 Regional Chapters the
fee schedule is as follows:
- If you are a NYMHCA Chapter Member - $5 per CEU
- If you are a NYMHCA member but not a chapter member - $10 per CEU
- If you are not a NYMHCA member - $20 per CEU
- Students, new grads and members of other professions are welcome to attend these
workshops. You will only pay if you require CEU's.
- Certified Rehabilitation Counselors (CRCs), and CASACs can use these CEU workshops to
fulfill a portion of the continuing education requirements for the renewal of their
certifications.

The NYMHCA Learning Institute Presents: Achieving Social Justice, Empowering Young Black & Brown Minds
Presenter: Sonia Hinds, APRN, PMH-BC, RPT-S
Children, Black and Brown, in our society are faced with racism daily, resulting in fear, anxiety, and even Race-Based Trauma. As advocates for children, therapists utilizing play therapy need to be well informed about racism, social injustice and the impact these have on the lives of the children served. Directive and non-directive play therapy approaches will be presented to enable therapists to connect with children, impart empathy, healing, and empowerment. Strategies include bibliotherapy, use of art, music and play.

The NYMHCA Learning Institute Presents: Improv for Building Counseling Relationship - A Zoom presentation.
Presenter: Joan Ingalls, LMHC, Ed.D., MA & Jennifer Bullock, LCS
The Counseling relationship isn't just a vehicle for problem-solving or an empathic emotional environment for sharing. Emerging research and practice modalities point to how the activity of building that relationship can support emotional growth and make problems vanish, for it is our emotional underdevelopment that produces many problems.
In this experiential workshop, attendees play improv theater games and participate in role-plays. We explore how improv helps us be more present - better listeners and responders - as we build our relationships. Participants gain skills for continuously building the counseling relationship throughout the course of therapy.
Available CEUs: 2
Cost for CEUs:
NYMHCA member: $15/CEU
Non-NYMHCA member: $20/CEU
Student NYMHCA member: Free!
