Get CETACertified

Join our global network of mental health practitioners trained in the CETA system of care.

Why get CETACertified™?

Backed by two decades of research and eight clinical trials, the Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA) addresses multiple behavioral and mental health problems across comorbidities, contexts, settings, and populations. CETA allows licensed and paraprofessional mental health practitioners to assess clients’ needs, generate personalized treatment recommendations, and realize measurable outcomes in an average of 8-10 sessions (versus the standard 36 or more). The result is markedly faster and more effective outcomes for clients and providers.
