Why DBT CE Still Matters

There’s a reason DBT continues to show up across specialties. It helps when clients feel emotionally flooded and behaviorally stuck, especially when insight alone hasn’t moved the needle.

These courses are designed to support real clinical work with clients dealing with emotional dysregulation, chronic impulsivity, trauma responses, and more. Whether you're using DBT in full-form or integrating its principles into eclectic practice, this training is built to give you grounding in what works… and why.

Material built for the room you’re in.

DBT Certification Program Through
Mind Works Continuing Education, LLC

If you're looking to go beyond CE and pursue a recognized DBT credential, our DBT curriculum meets the full training requirements for professional certification:

DBT-PT™ Certification

This foundational certification verifies core training in DBT protocols and prepares you to apply DBT in clinical settings with competence and clarity.

Completion of our Certificate in DBT Skills & Clinical Applications meets all coursework requirements to receive the DBT-PT™ certification credential through Mind Works Continuing Education, LLC, our independent certifying body.

The program is designed by Dr. Jennifer Sweeton, her team, and the MWCE advisory board and includes only board-approved CE courses, case consultation directly with herself or another experienced DBT trainer, and real-world application guidance throughout your training.

At no additional cost with the purchase of our full cert program, this optional certification credential and digital badge is issued through Mind Works Continuing Education, LLC, a recognized independent certification body backed by a 30+ person advisory board. Clinicians who complete our comprehensive DBT cert program can submit their program completion certificate as verification of course curriculum fulfillment when applying for DBT-PT™ certification.

🔗 Learn About The DBT Certificate Program

If you're pursuing DBT as a core part of your practice, this is the most direct and comprehensive pathway we offer.

Are these DBT CE courses accepted by my state board?

Yes, in most cases. All are NBCC and ASWB approved. You can confirm using our approval checker or contact support.

Is membership required to take these DBT courses?

No. You can buy courses individually. Membership is optional and designed for convenience and value.

Can I use these toward DBT certification?

Yes. All individual DBT courses - which also appear in our Certificate in DBT Skills and Clinical Applications - qualify for DBT certification through our independent certifying body, Mind Works Continuing Education, LLC.

How long do I have to finish a course?

As long as you want. There are no timers, and your progress is saved. Individual course purchase includes lifetime access.

Most CE sites are good at checking boxes. But checking boxes doesn’t help in a session with a client who's shutting down, lashing out, or stuck in black-and-white thinking.

These DBT courses are built for that kind of work. Not just to fulfill a requirement, but to make you feel more equipped to handle the moments that matter most.

If that’s the kind of CE you’ve been hoping for, you’re in the right place.
