New York LMHC CE Requirements (2026): Verification Checklist + Tracking Workflow

If you’re an LMHC in New York, your best move is to verify the official requirements and then track CE in a way that keeps you audit-ready year-round.

This guide focuses on verification and workflow (not guessing numbers).

Quick answer

• Verify the current official requirements and save what you checked.
• Set your renewal window first.
• Log CE + attach certificates immediately.
• Track totals and category minimums separately.
• Export proof periodically.

What to keep for audit readiness

• CE certificates/transcripts
• Provider/course details + completion dates
• Hours/credits
• Category mapping (ethics and other mandated topics)
• Notes for exceptions or edge cases

Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)

1. Relying on totals only: category buckets can be short even when totals look fine.
2. Missing evidence: audits are about documentation, not memory.
3. Last-minute logging: late data entry increases error rates and missing files.
