IS PLAY THERAPY DOCUMENTATION STRESSING YOU OUT?
It can feel like a never-ending burden, whether you’re trying to understand your client’s problems, struggling with treatment plans or writing progress notes . These frustrations can make documentation feel like a waste of time, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
Uggghhh, more documentation, amirite?
If you're always saying
- ... “They’re a waste of time.”
- You feel like treatment plans are only there to please insurance companies and your agency.
- ... “I don’t know how to write treatment plans.”
- They feel complicated, pointless, and you’re unsure where to start.
- ... “What should I include in my progress notes?”
- You’re not sure how much or how little information is necessary.
- ... “How do I make my notes quick but still effective?”
- You need to document efficiently, but also meet legal and insurance standards.
- ... “I feel lost without understanding the root problems.”
- It’s hard to conceptualize what’s going on in your client’s life, leaving you confused during sessions.
Now imagine this instead -
- Treatment plans become purposeful. You’ll develop plans that not only satisfy insurance but actually help you guide your client’s progress, making each session more productive.
- Confident documentation. You’ll quickly create treatment plans that make intuitive play therapy work clearer and more structured without overwhelming you.
- Progress notes become easy and effective. You’ll write concise, meaningful notes that meet legal standards while saving time.
- No more guesswork. You walk into each session with a clear understanding of your client’s needs, able to explain the process to parents with confidence.
- Aligned documentation. Your case conceptualizations, treatment plans, and progress notes all work together to support your client’s healing journey.
- Culturally relevant care. You’ll approach every client with cultural sensitivity, providing ethical services that lead to real transformation.

I know what you’re thinking...
“I can just learn this on my own.”
It’s tempting to think you can figure out documentation on your own, but let’s be honest—how much time have you already spent trying to make sense of it all? Googling resources, piecing together what to include in your treatment plans and progress notes, and still feeling unsure if you’re doing it right.
Without proper guidance, you might end up:
- Wasting time on trial and error, trying to guess what agencies and insurance companies expect.
- Struggling with inconsistent documentation, which can lead to miscommunication with parents, agencies, or even your own future sessions.
- Continuing to feel lost and frustrated when you can’t fully understand or explain your client’s issues, leaving you second-guessing your work.
- Missing critical legal or ethical details that could impact your client’s care and your professional standing.
- Falling behind on progress notes, leading to stress and anxiety when you can’t remember session details.
Why keep guessing when you can have a clear, structured, and proven process that works?
You’re going to complete your documentation quicker than you ever thought possible.

Hi there! I'm Cathi Spooner, LCSW, RPT-S
For the past 30 years, I’ve helped countless child and adolescent therapists develop strong play therapy case conceptualization and clinical decision-making skills that lead to amazing treatment results. My passion is teaching therapists how to tap into their clinical detective skills within a culturally relevant and ethical framework, so you can confidently ask the right questions, analyze the problem, and formulate effective treatment plans.
With over 30 years of experience, I’ve worked extensively with clients and their parents to create play therapy treatment plans that are not only practical but also transformative. My goal is to help therapists like you achieve the same success in guiding families to accomplish their goals.
I know documentation can feel tedious, but it’s a vital part of our work. Through years of practice and teaching, I’ve mastered the art of writing progress notes that support medical necessity, provide clarity on services rendered, and show treatment outcomes—all while being efficient and effective
"Cathi has expansive knowledge and experience! She presented excellent material and I really enjoyed learning from her."
