THE STRUGGLE WE DON'T TALK ABOUT...
When the healing work feels effortless — but the paperwork doesn’t.
You love those moments of discovery in the playroom —
💛 when a child finds their voice through sand or art,
💛 when parents begin to see progress and hope again.
But when it’s time to document those moments… everything feels heavier.
🤔 How do I capture this in words that make sense (and sound like we’re doing more than just playing)?
🤔 Did I write enough — or too much?
🤔 Did I maintain privacy while capturing what happened in the play therapy session to satisfy insurance companies (and my agency)?
NOW IMAGINE THIS INSTEAD...
Documentation that feels clear, quick — and truly connected to your clinical wisdom.
- Imagine sitting down to write your play therapy progress notes — and knowing exactly where to start.
- Your play therapy treatment plan aligns with your theoretical play therapy model.
- Your play therapy progress notes tell a story of change — not just a list of activities.
- You spend less time second-guessing and more time feeling grounded in your process.
- And when it’s time to share your documentation — with supervisors, parents, or agencies — you’ll feel confident knowing it reflects your best clinical work.
Wouldn’t it feel amazing to finally nail your documentation process?
Here’s what becomes possible when your documentation finally feels clear and structured:
- Confidence — in creating play therapy specific treatment plans and progress notes that are purposeful, clinically sound, and aligned with your therapeutic goals to help your clients heal.
- Clarity —in understanding what’s driving your clients’ challenges and how parents support the work, while weaving your assessment, treatment plans, and progress notes into a cohesive Golden Thread that tells the story of your client’s journey.
- Efficiency —in creating concise, meaningful play therapy notes that save you time and reflect that what you’re doing in the playroom is more than just playing.
- Relief — from the stress of not knowing what to include (or leave out) to meet insurance and agency requirements while also maintaining privacy for your young clients.
- Cultural & Ethical Competence — in your case conceptualization, helping you provide meaningful, inclusive, and responsible care.
- Peace of Mind — knowing your play therapy documentation is legally sound, ethically aligned, and truly supportive of your clients’ growth. (Yes! It’s actually possible)

This was an amazing training for case conceptualization! Clear to understand, organized and touched on every aspect that a therapist needs to take into account for case conceptualize. Cathi explained and articulated well topics that can be challenging to understand and topics that are often overlooked by clinicians. All of it super helpful.

"I appreciate the workbooks. I have printed it and I use it as a resource to refresh my memory so I don't forget the information. There's so much to it and it's vital to understanding my clients."

I know what you’re thinking...
"I’ll figure out documentation on my own."
You absolutely could.
Play therapists are resourceful, intuitive, and committed to growing their skills — it’s what makes this community so special.
But here’s the truth: Figuring out documentation on your own often means hours of trial and error — searching for examples that fit play therapy, wondering what’s “enough” for insurance or agencies, and second-guessing whether your language truly reflects your clinical reasoning.
It’s not that you can’t do it — it’s that you shouldn’t have to do it alone.
The Play Therapy Documentation Bundle gives you a clear, grounded framework designed specifically for play therapists — so you can stop piecing things together and start documenting with confidence.
You’ll learn the structure, language, and reasoning that make documentation feel simple, ethical, and defensible — without sacrificing your authentic clinical voice.
Because when your documentation finally feels organized and aligned, your confidence — and your impact — grow right alongside it.

Meet Cathi — Your Guide to Stress-Free Documentation
Hi there! I'm Cathi Spooner, LCSW, RPT-S
I created the Play Therapy Documentation Bundle because I kept meeting incredible play therapists doing life-changing work — yet still feeling unsure or overwhelmed when it came to documenting that work.
With over 30 years of experience as a play therapist, supervisor, and trainer, I’ve seen how clear, purposeful documentation doesn’t just strengthen clinical practice — it builds confidence and professional credibility.
My goal is simple: to help you document with the same clarity and intention you bring to the playroom — so your paperwork supports your purpose, not your stress.
"Cathi has expansive knowledge and experience! She presented excellent material and I really enjoyed learning from her."
