Nothing on the books yet for mental health conferences for 2027 in California.
We're still building out our coverage, and California is one of the regions we'd love to fill in more completely. There's a steady stream of meaningful events for therapists and mental health professionals in nearly every state -- annual conferences, EMDR and CBT trainings, trauma-focused intensives, networking events for private practice owners -- and we'd rather over-list than miss them. If you know of something in California that belongs on this page, tell us about it.
Hosting something yourself for therapists, counselors, or other mental health professionals? We'd love to feature it. Send us a link to the event page along with the basics -- dates, format, location, CEU info if applicable -- and we'll handle the rest. We never charge organizers to list.
What to expect for 2027
Here's a forecast of upcoming events.
Listings for 2027 in California are still rolling in. Many event organizers in the mental health space wait until later in the cycle to publish their dates, especially smaller regional CEU workshops and clinical trainings that don't require long lead times for venue booking. What's here now is the early wave -- there will be more. A lot of the activity comes from the major professional associations -- the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA) for counselors, the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) for clinical social workers, the American Psychological Association (APA) for psychologists, and the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) for MFTs -- plus their California chapters, which run their own annual conferences and CEU programming. As a baseline, 2026 closed out with roughly 14 mental health conferences in California. If past patterns hold, 2027 should land in a similar range once organizers finish publishing their schedules. October was the busiest month that year, with 4 on the calendar -- worth keeping in mind if you're trying to plan ahead for CEU travel. To put some numbers on the seasonality: 2026 saw 4 conferences in October and 3 in March in California. Those tend to be the months therapists block off well in advance. And if your organization is planning something for therapists in California in 2027, we'd be glad to feature it as soon as you have dates.
