Continuing Education for Psychologists
Plus Travel To
Extraordinary
CEs
Give you reason to Travel
–The Destination returns you RENEWED
Psychologists ourselves, we wanted continuing education for mental health professionals aligned with our love of travel, exploration, and yearning for awe.
We navigate a constant balancing act — clinical work, documentation, family life, relationships, and the emotional labor of caring for others. It can be challenging to find space for the things that replenish us while also honoring the many values and responsibilities we hold.
Destination Psych CE is designed with that reality in mind.
We pair 12 APA- and ASWB-approved CEs with travel to bucket-list destinations. Half-day learning sessions spark connection and curiosity — then leave you free to wander where the wonder takes you.

Perspective & Reflection

Granite coastline and open horizons slow attention and widen perspective. Acadia supports reflective learning — the kind that emerges through rhythm, boundary, and the steady presence of the sea.

Why We Travel for Continuing Education
When we step out of our ordinary environment and into somewhere vast and unfamiliar, our attention is restored and our existing frameworks are challenged — and when we share that experience with colleagues, we reduce isolation, rebuild meaning, and create bonds that outlast the trip.
