Frequently Asked Questions


Overview

What kind of CEs are included? - Qualifying providers can access CE libraries from various partners, each with options for different focus areas.

  • PESI: A curated library of 150 CEs with courses in mental health, clinical interventions, pharmacology, and practice management.

  • MI Center for Change: An asynchronous course that outlines how to use motivational interviewing when working with substance misuse.

  • Violet: CEs focused on cultural competency and LGBTQ+ affirming care.

  • Triad: Measurement-informed care (MIC) course available for 1 CE credit.

These CEs are free of charge to providers who meet eligibility criteria.

Why are we offering free CEs? - At Grow Therapy, we are invested in you! We know you provide thoughtful care to clients. This benefit is an opportunity to enhance your clinical skillset across modalities and populations while attending to licensure renewal requirements. We carefully selected CE partners that had a variety of offerings for both therapists and prescribers.

When reviewing the courses, we invite providers to verify that they are accredited by the respective board governing your license.

How to qualify

Who is this benefit for? - The courses are available for Grow Therapy prescribers and therapists who have submitted an invoice in the last 30 days. Updated rosters are provided to our CE partners at the beginning of each month, with access updates completed by the end of each month. For example, if you submitted an invoice in September, you will gain access by the end of October.

Am I required to use this benefit? - No. Grow Therapy does not require providers to obtain CEs through the provided options, but does require providers to maintain their licensure in accordance with state requirements.

If I can access a partner (e.g., Violet) through another company, will I need to set up another account? - If you already have access through another company, you can continue using your existing account—you don't need to create a new one through Grow Therapy, as the content remains the same. If you lose access to your existing account, you can set up a new one using Grow Therapy credentials.

Data & privacy

What data is shared with PESI and Violet? - Grow Therapy shares the NPI numbers, first name, last name, and email of contracted providers who meet eligibility criteria. This information is updated and transferred monthly to reflect current eligible providers.

Where do I find my NPI number? - If you don’t already know your NPI number, you can find it by searching the free NPPES NPI Registry.

What data is shared with Grow Therapy about CE completion or access? - Grow Therapy will receive information from our CE vendors that shows the utilization of the CEs available. This includes licensure type, NPI, location, and course completion. Grow Therapy will use this to help inform CE selection. For example, we can examine how many providers access a training selected from the PESI library to determine how often the CE is completed and whether it would be beneficial to switch to another offering.

Tracking & applying CEs

Will Grow Therapy track my CEs for me? - No. It is the responsibility of providers to track completed CEs and to ensure they complete CEs to meet state CE requirements to maintain licensure.

If I leave Grow Therapy, can I retain the CEs I earned through Grow? - Yes. If a provider leaves Grow Therapy, any CEs earned remain theirs. It is the provider's responsibility to keep and manage their CE certificates.

Can I request Grow Therapy to pay for a CE that isn’t offered? - Grow Therapy does not cover the cost of CEs outside of those specifically offered through our partners. Additionally, any costs associated with certifications offered through Evergreen, a subset of PESI, are the provider's responsibility.

Will there be live CE options available to fulfill my state's requirement? - Each quarter, both PESI and Violet offer a live CE option. This can go towards the requirement for a “live” CE course. All other content is self-paced.
