How Therapists Can Create CE Courses: Free CE Course Builder for Mental Health Clinicians

If you’ve ever thought about teaching other therapists or creating your own continuing education (CE) courses but felt completely overwhelmed by the process - this post is for you.

As a licensed therapist, I’ve been there. I wanted to expand beyond the therapy room, share what I’ve learned, and diversify my income. But when I first started, I quickly realized how much goes into creating a CE course: designing learning objectives, understanding CE requirements, dealing with tech, writing outlines, and figuring out marketing and compliance. It was a lot.

Over the years, I’ve figured out how to make it all work and now I’ve built something to help you skip the overwhelm and get straight to creating.

Meet the CE Course Builder for Mental Health Clinicians

I’m thrilled to introduce the CE Course Builder, a completely free, AI-powered tool I created inside ChatGPT. This custom GPT walks you step-by-step through creating and launching your own CE courses. Whether you want to turn a podcast into a CE course, write learning objectives that meet NBCC or APA standards, or outline your entire course idea - it’s got you covered.

Think of it like having a course creation coach, CE compliance expert, and marketing strategist in your pocket 24/7.

Why I Created It

After many conversations with therapists who wanted to create CE content but didn’t know where to start, I realized we needed a tool that understood our world. This isn’t a generic AI bot. It’s built specifically for mental health professionals and understands the requirements of accrediting bodies like NBCC, APA, ASWB, and NAADAC.

You can ask it to:

• Generate CE course topics based on your specialty
• Create compliant learning objectives
• Draft course outlines and scripts
• Write sales page copy and email campaigns
• Guide you on pricing, hosting, and launching your course

And yes, it's 100% free (at least for now!).

Who This Is For

This tool is ideal for:

• Therapists looking to expand into teaching
• Clinicians interested in diversifying income streams
• Group practice owners who want to offer internal CE
• Anyone who has expertise and a desire to share it with the field

Whether you’re just starting out or already have course ideas brewing, the CE Course Builder helps you go from stuck to launched.
