Profitable Mental Health Trainings
Create CE Trainings That Pay You for What You Already Know—Without More Licenses, Degrees, or Burnout
✅ You're already doing important work with clients. What if the insights you offer one-on-one could reach hundreds—or thousands—and support your income even when you're not in session?
If you're a therapist, counselor, or coach with meaningful professional experience, you may already be equipped to become a continuing education (CE) provider.
And yet, maybe you've caught yourself thinking:
“I’m not expert enough to teach.”
“I don’t have time to figure all this out.”
“There are already too many trainings out there.”
What if those doubts are exactly the kind of noise that’s holding you back from a more sustainable, fulfilling, and generative career?
Profitable Mental Health Trainings was designed to walk you step-by-step into launching your own CE trainings or educational offerings—without needing another degree or having to navigate the process alone.

🧠 That First Training Changed Everything
“I had two licenses, a full caseload, and still felt like I was hitting a wall.”
“Back in 2012, I hosted a $45 ethics workshop in a borrowed church basement… 71 people showed up.
That was the moment I realized I didn’t need more credentials—I needed a better map.”
Since then, Dr. David Hall has supported thousands of therapists in expanding their practices through CE trainings, online courses, and knowledge-based workshops.
You can absolutely do the same—with guidance that meets you where you are.
"I was able to build my own 5 hour CE course from start to finish with the guidance on offer here. David's experience and knowledge are invaluable if this is something you are serious about" - Timothy Kelly, LCSW, BC-TMH, NREMT, Owner & Psychotherapist, Propagate Hope Counseling (Denver, Colorado, USA)
🔍 Three Mindsets That Quiet Progress
🧱 Sticking Point #1: “I’m not expert enough to teach.”
Let’s reframe it: You don’t need to be a guru—you just need to be a few steps ahead. The most impactful CE providers are not ivory tower experts; they’re skilled practitioners sharing hard-won insights.
- This program helps you translate your professional experience into ethical, teachable content.
🎤 Sticking Point #2: “I’m not great with tech—or teaching.”
Let’s reframe it: You don’t have to do it all yourself. Many providers succeed as hosts or collaborators, not solo instructors.
- We guide you through three viable roles—Teacher, Organizer, or Curator—and show how each can work.
📦 Sticking Point #3: “The market feels oversaturated.”
Let’s reframe it: People aren’t just buying information—they’re looking for transformation. Your unique lens, your story, and your way of organizing content are what stand out.
- We show you how to frame and position your training for the audiences who need it most.

What Past Students Say...
Jon D. Beaumont
The Profitable Trainings program from PsychMaven is honestly some of the best money I have ever spent towards advancing my career. Dr. Hall gives step-by-step instructions and recommendations for setting up your own continuing education workshops, webinars, and even courses!
Since taking the course, I have:
- Grown my email newsletter list to over 500 subscribers
- Been approved to offer 3 separate continuing education workshops.
- Presented at one statewide webinar, as well as presented for the entire faculty of a local school
- And I have at least 4 webinars planned for this year.
All of this was made SO MUCH easier by the things I learned from the Profitable Trainings program. I could not be more pleased! Thank you Dr. Hall!""

Sandra Foreman
I wanted to find a resource to help me with offering continuing education courses.
Eventually, I found Dr. Hall’s course. After reading the summary of Profitable Mental Health Trainings, I decided to enroll. I devoured the information over a period of four days.
I’m not a mental health professional (I am licensed as an attorney), however, I found the content of the course and the further consulting available with Dr. Hall extremely insightful and thorough.
The material covered is applicable across multiple disciplines. I now feel more than prepared to propose and develop courses for approval thanks to Dr. Hall and his great course!"

Rich Gallagher
Profitable Mental Health Trainings is, quite simply, the best professional development course I have ever taken. I am an experienced author, speaker and trainer as well as a therapist, but the one piece I have always been missing is developing my own training as a business.
In this course, Dr. Hall literally opens his own successful playbook, and lays out everything you need to profit from your mental health expertise – starting with your vision and competitive analysis, through the nuts and bolts of business strategies, CEU approval, marketing and delivering your programs, and more.
He really leaves it all on the field, with a wealth of detailed resources, and I am getting everything out of this course that I need to take the next steps in my own business.
This program is a great investment in your own success training mental health professionals, and I am so glad Dr. Hall has bottled up his expertise and resources to share with the rest of us.”"
