Want to Be Part of a Play Therapy Community?

The Power of Community in Play Therapy
Play therapy can sometimes feel isolating, especially if you’re the only play therapist in your agency or private practice. Many graduate programs focus on adult therapy, leaving child therapists with little formal training in play therapy. And while some workplaces claim to offer play therapy, they may lack a structured approach or experienced mentors.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many play therapists crave a sense of connection, support, and professional growth within a like-minded community. That’s why I’m launching Play Therapy Collective—a space where play therapists can connect, share ideas, and grow together.
Why a Play Therapy Community Matters
Being part of a play therapy community provides:
✅ Support & Encouragement – On tough days, having a network of fellow therapists can provide reassurance and fresh perspectives.
✅ Case Consultation & Feedback – Get valuable input on difficult cases and explore alternative approaches.
✅ Continued Learning – Stay updated on play therapy trends, techniques, and research.
✅ Reduced Imposter Syndrome – Gain confidence in your skills with validation and shared experiences.
Many therapists, especially those in remote areas or agencies without strong play therapy mentorship, feel they lack the guidance they need. Others struggle with balancing financial constraints and professional development. Play Therapy Collective was created to address these challenges.
What’s the Difference Between Play Therapy Academy & Play Therapy Collective?
Play Therapy Academy is a small, structured consultation group designed for credentialing support. It includes twice-a-month case consultations, CE courses, and a private group chat for ongoing support. However, it has a limited number of members and a higher cost due to credentialing requirements.
Play Therapy Collective, on the other hand, is a more accessible and flexible option. It provides a private online community, monthly live training and discussions, group case consultations, and access to valuable resources—all at a much lower cost. It’s ideal for play therapists looking for connection, learning, and support without the structure and credentialing focus of Play Therapy Academy.
What’s Included in Play Therapy Collective?
🔹 Monthly Live Meetings – Covering play therapy topics, case discussions, guest speakers, and Q&A sessions.
🔹 Private Online Community – A space for questions, resource sharing, and ongoing discussion between meetings.
🔹 Flexible Scheduling – Meeting times will rotate to accommodate different time zones.
🔹 Recorded Sessions – If you miss a live meeting, recordings will be available for 30 days.
🔹 Resource Library – Guides, worksheets, and video trainings to support your professional growth.
