Starting your path to CBT Certification is easy.

At A-CBT, we offer certification programs in Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies for mental health professionals.

A minimum of 40 hours of cognitive therapy education is required, with training available in various formats. Applicants need at least one year of clinical experience using cognitive therapy with a minimum of ten patients. Eligible terminal degrees include M.S.W, M.D., Psy.D., and others. Malpractice insurance may be necessary. CBT certification demonstrates competence and expertise, requiring specialized training and an examination. The application process involves submitting documentation and fees, as well as a case conceptualization and session audio evaluation. The certification process takes approximately 8-12 weeks.
