About Us

You get much more than just Affordable CEUs

Affordable CEUs is the only online program where each course is personally and thoughtfully written by a seasoned psychotherapist with contributions from a former lawyer and judge. Susan McMillan has been in the trenches for decades; bringing you a unique, personal, and sometimes humorous perspective that you just can’t find with other Big Box CEU programs. There’s a reason why she has helped over 25,000 therapists to get or maintain their license, and why Affordable CEUs students return again and again.

The McMillan Story

A funny thing happened on the way to the courthouse

Susan met Matt when she was a victim of domestic violence, and he was a young prosecutor in the State Attorney’s Office – and the rest is history. Susan went on to develop the first certified batterers intervention program in Florida, become a jury trial consultant and develop other areas of expertise including addictions, trauma, ecological distress and medical errors. Matt went on to practice criminal defense, serve as county judge, earn his criminal justice addiction certification and develop expertise in areas such as domestic violence and Administrative Law. Sensing a lack of awareness amongst therapists about some of the issues Susan is passionate about, she became a Board-approved Continuing Education Provider, creating or co-creating the first approved 8 Hour Laws and Rules Course, the first approved domestic violence course, the first course about the effects of the climate crisis on mental health, and the first approved psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy course in the state. A few years later, Matt began presenting with her, both state-wide and nationally. Amongst the organizations to which they have presented are the Coalition of Batterers Intervention Programs of Florida, the Florida Association of Community Corrections, the National Association for Forensic Social Workers, the Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association, the Florida Association of DUI Programs, the US Federal Probation Department, and US Journal Institute.

Matt and Susan now have three grown children. Following in their parent’s footsteps, the oldest is an attorney and nature photographer (currently on Safari in Africa), the middle is a nature lover and works at a café, and the youngest is a fierce advocate for the environment and minority rights, majored in Women’s Studies and Criminology at USF.

Susan developed the first Board Approved Laws and Rules course in the state of Florida and has served as a Continuing Education Provider with the Fl Dept of Healthy for over 30 years, helping thousands of therapists complete their mandatory licensure coursework. Other CEU firsts include Domestic Violence; The Effects of the Climate Crisis on Mental Health; and Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, taught in Costa Rica with an emphasis on nature connection. Susan regularly trains mental health professionals, probation officers, judges, nurses, and attorneys on a variety of topics, and has presented to multiple organizations, state-wide and national conferences, as well as television and radio programs.

She currently is the director of Affordable Counseling and the Domestic Abuse Intervention Project, where she oversees seven offices in the Tampa Bay area, providing outpatient substance abuse counseling, batterers intervention, court-ordered examinations and couples therapy.

Matt McMillan is a former police officer, former prosecutor, former county judge, and has been a certified criminal justice addictions specialist and a certified batterers intervention assessor and facilitator.
