Continuing Education

for Body-Based & Somatic Training

If you're a licensed social worker or counselor exploring whether my workshops or consultations in somatic practice and nervous system regulation can count toward your CE requirements, the information below will help you assess that for your licensing board. Note that I cannot guarantee acceptance — particularly for trainings not pre-approved by your professional association — as the final determination always rests with your board.

How Maine licensing boards handle CEs

Maine's boards for social work and counseling licensure allow licensees to submit hours from courses that have not been pre-approved by a professional association. The board makes the final determination on acceptability. It is the licensee's responsibility to ensure that submitted coursework relates directly to counseling or social work practice and theory. Topics like computer training, time management, and personal enrichment would generally not qualify.

​

Licensees should retain certificates of completion along with course descriptions and agendas, in case documentation is requested during an audit.

​

Note on pre-approved CEs: Pre-approval is granted by professional associations (such as NASW), not by licensing boards. During an audit, courses approved by a professional association are typically accepted without question; courses without that designation may receive closer review.

If you're licensed outside of Maine, check your board's specific requirements to determine whether my workshops qualify.

Licensing board resources

Requirements vary by state, so if you're licensed outside of Maine, check directly with your board to determine whether my workshops qualify. For those licensed in Maine, the following resources are a good starting point — though it's always worth verifying current requirements directly with your board, as guidelines can change:
