2027 Therapist Retreats & Psychological Conferences
Article Summary: We’ve identified a few incredible 2027 therapist retreats and psychological conferences both within the United States and abroad, giving you multiple opportunities to escape the grind of running your own practice while also finding time to recharge while deepening your knowledge and skill set.
As a practice owner and full-time therapist, I know the dangers of therapist burnout as well as anyone else.
It’s one of the reasons I started My Wellness Retreats: One of my favorite forms of therapist self-care is escaping from the office for a few days to connect with fellow professionals and focus on my own professional development.
As 2026 winds down, I’m looking forward to the 2027 therapist CE retreats and psychological conferences—especially as it’s easier than ever to afford therapist retreats. Here’s what you should know:

2027 Therapist Trainings & Webinars
You’ll find no shortage of high-quality webinars from reputable organizations in 2027. Here are some of the next places to keep an eye on:
1. American Psychological Association
As we said in our 2026 roundup, the APA offers a wide variety of on-demand training options and webinars—available to both members and non-members.
Plus, if you don’t need the CEU credits, you can find tons of educational content available for free.
Keep this one bookmarked in your browser; the APA updates their website regularly!
2. PESI
Like the APA, PESI maintains an enormous library of live and recorded trainings, which are ideal for accommodating a busy therapist’s schedule.
Unfortunately, most of their content is only available behind a paywall, so keep your credit card handy if you’d like to add PESI to your training schedule.
3. National Association of Social Workers
Despite the name, the NASW’s training modules also hold value for other mental health professionals, including therapists and psychologists.
Plus, some of their content can help you earn CE credits, which can help you stay ahead of your CEU requirements in between sessions.
4. My Wellness Center
Our sister organization—My Wellness Center—regularly hosts live webinars to assist in professional development.
Frequent presenters include me (My Wellness Center founder Tomi Ward, LPC, MPC, NCC) and Associate Counselor Kelly O’Connell, MPC, LCP, CAADC.

I’ve always had a soft spot for perinatal wellness, all the way back to when I started the MAYA Organization, a nonprofit that specializes in helping marginalized communities.
