The Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference is the premier psychotherapy conference for mental health clinicians who want advanced training, meaningful CE, and access to thought leaders whose insight is foundational to clinical practice. See how Evolution elevates skills and outcomes across modalities.
The Evolution of Psychotherapy is the premier psychotherapy conference for mental health professionals, founded in 1985 by the Milton H. Erickson Foundation. Often called "the Woodstock of psychotherapy," it brings together the field's most influential clinical voices, both pioneering legends and emerging innovators, for CE-eligible education across all major therapeutic modalities. The 2026 conference takes place December 7–9 at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida, and introduces a new one-track main-stage format in which all attendees learn together in one room.
Attendees can earn 18 or more continuing education credits at the Evolution of Psychotherapy 2026. CE credits are approved by multiple accrediting bodies, including the American Psychological Association (APA), the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB), the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC), and additional organizations. Each session is eligible for 1.0 or more CE credits, and on-demand CE options are also available after the conference through the Evolution Plus platform.
Evolution of Psychotherapy 2026 for licensed clinical professionals starts at $299 with the early-bird rate. Pricing increases through tiered deadlines: $449 (Early Bird), $549 (Super Saver), $649 (Last Chance), and $749 (Standard). Student rate is a flat fee of $299. Non-Clinical attendee rate is a flat fee of $899. Group discounts are available for teams of five or more. Visit this link to connect with our customer experience team to request a group discount. All CE credits are included in the registration price at no additional cost.
New for 2026, the Evolution of Psychotherapy is moving to a one-track main stage format, meaning every attendee experiences every session together in one room. Unlike traditional multi-track conferences where you choose between competing breakout sessions, the one-track format ensures you never miss a presentation. This shared experience creates a stronger sense of community and carries into networking conversations, hallway discussions, and peer connections throughout the conference.
The Evolution of Psychotherapy 2026 is available both in person and on demand. The live conference takes place December 7–9, 2026, in Orlando, Florida, with a one-track main stage format designed for an immersive, shared learning experience. For those who cannot attend in person or who want to revisit sessions after the event, Evolution Plus provides on-demand access to conference recordings with CE-eligible credits. On-demand participants can earn continuing education credits at their own pace, making Evolution accessible to mental health professionals regardless of location or schedule.
The multi-track Evolution of Psychotherapy conference is scheduled to return to Anaheim in a future year. Evolution of Psychotherapy: Foundations and Futures is a new and exciting format for our 2026 conference in Orlando.
