Evolution of Psychotherapy 2026

For over 40 years, the Evolution of Psychotherapy has been the place where the field's most influential thinkers come together. This isn't a conference you watch, it's one you feel. For three days, the pioneers who shaped the field and the voices defining its future share a single stage, so you can hear not just what works, but why it works, directly from the people who proved it. Earn CE credits. Connect with colleagues who share your standards. And do it all at a fraction of the cost of comparable events, at one of Orlando's most iconic resorts. The Evolution of Psychotherapy is the premier psychotherapy conference for mental health professionals, founded in 1985 by the Milton H. Erickson Foundation. Often called "the Woodstock of psychotherapy," it brings together the field's most influential clinical voices, both pioneering legends and emerging innovators, for CE-eligible education across all major therapeutic modalities. The 2026 conference takes place December 7--9 at the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Florida, and introduces a new one-track main-stage format in which all attendees learn together in one room.
