The San Francisco Bay Area Center for Cognitive Therapy (SFBACCT) offers training and consultation in cognitive-behavior therapy to mental health professionals.

Training
The SFBACCT is an approved provider of continuing education units by the California Psychological Association Accrediting Agency for licensed psychologists and by the Board of Behavioral Science for licensed marriage and family therapists (MFT) and licensed clinical social workers (LCSW).

The SFBACCT would be delighted to work with you to design a workshop, course, in-service training, or lecture that meets your needs. We will develop the curriculum and materials, manage the continuing education application and filing process, and travel to your site to hold the training. We often teach workshops and courses at local institutions (e.g., Alliant International University, University of California Extension, John F. Kennedy University) and we post upcoming trainings on our website. The SFBACCT is not a practicum, internship, or pre- or post-doctoral training site.
