A certified professional trained to assess and coach process addictions driven by screens (social, gaming, porn, shopping, gambling), using neuroscience, harm-reduction, and structured accountability.

Definitely. Many therapists, counselors, coaches and case managers take this training to add practical coaching tools to their work. You’ll also earn 26 CEUs and leave with real-world methods that go beyond traditional therapy.

A coach complements therapy or sponsorship—they’re not a replacement. Those that struggle with digital addictions often need action-oriented guidance to move forward in life, break habits, and build confidence whereas therapists focus primarily on healing and processing past trauma.

Nope. This certification is designed for coaches, mentors, educators, parents, and people with lived experience—no clinical degree or license needed. As long as you’re committed to helping others grow, and move forward, this program will give you the tools and credential to do it.

Earnings depend on how you choose to structure your practice, but most certified coaches charge between $100–$250 per hour for one-on-one sessions, or package services into monthly programs ranging from $750–$3,000+ depending on client needs and level of support. Some graduates create group programs, parent coaching packages, or corporate trainings, which can command even higher rates while reducing time per client. Many also expand their income by offering workshops, speaking engagements, or by becoming a Train the Trainer or affiliate through The Addictions Academy, which provides opportunities for residual and scalable income.

What sets this certification apart is that your investment can often be recouped with just one or two paying clients, since the tools you’ll learn are in high demand and relevant across diverse demographics—from teens and parents to executives and professionals struggling with screen dependency. As awareness of digital addiction grows, the market for specialized coaching is expanding rapidly, giving certified coaches the ability to build sustainable six-figure practices while making a meaningful impact in their communities

Most students complete the training and earn their certification in 8 to 10 weeks. You’ll have access to on-demand video modules, plus 10 weeks of live mentorship, so you can move at your own pace with expert guidance along the way.
