Play Therapy Consultation
If you’re a play therapist staring at this page thinking…
“Okay… but which one is actually right for me?”
You’re not alone.
Both PTEC and PTA communities were created to solve a very real problem:
feeling stuck, second-guessing your clinical decisions, and wishing you had trusted play therapy colleagues who actually get play therapy.
Group Play Therapy Consultation
Play Therapy Academy is a VIP membership-like experience to help you develop your ability to hone in to identify the "roots" of your clients' presenting problems using detective-like skills so you can formulate a plan for their success.
Individual Play Therapy Consultation (Supervision)
Need more individual support to learn how to provide mental health treatment confidently, accurately, and ethically to children, adolescents, and families?
Individual play therapy supervision will help you to develop keen clinical decision-making skills to help you recognize what is contributing to your client's mental health challenges and develop a plan to help them overcome those challenges.
- You'll learn how to integrate play therapy and expressive arts modalities to help your young clients overcome their difficulties, and determine which play therapy and expressive arts modality will be the most effective.
- You'll learn how to recognize clinically relevant themes in your client's play and how to determine which phase of treatment you client is in to help you with treatment planning.
- You'll learn to recognize when your client is making progress and how to determine when your client is ready for discharge.
- You'll learn how to help parents engage in the change process to be the therapeutic agent of change for their child.
Schedule a free 30-minute video call if you're ready to become a play therapy expert in your community helping children and teens heal.
