CONTINUING EDUCATION

As we seek to build community with other professionals in the Houston area, we offer Continuing Education for counseling professionals. As our staff has a wide variety of experience and knowledge, we seek to invest in others as part of the education vision of our center. Throughout the year, we will offer various trainings led by our staff or other professionals. Our desire is to connect with and support others in the counseling field, especially those in private practice who may feel they have no network of other professionals to connect with. Listed below are some possible future topics that we may offer Continuing Education credits for. As we set dates, there will be online registration for trainings. The cost will vary depending on the session.
