Training Description

This play therapy training is offered Live In-Person for contact hours and Virtual via Zoom Platform for non-contact hours.

 

This training provides a comprehensive and practical approach to play therapy supervision, focusing on how to guide supervisees from experience to clinical application. Participants will learn a structured supervision process that supports clinical decision-making, supervisee development, and understanding of the broader systems impacting clients. 

The workshop integrates experiential supervision activities designed to build strong supervisory relationships and increase self-awareness, along with a clear framework for translating those experiences into play therapy interventions. Participants will learn how to create play-based prompts, ask meaningful clinical questions, and adapt activities for use with children in the playroom, including exploring the client’s perspective. 

A developmental lens will be introduced to support decision-making around level of directiveness and the child’s capacity for insight and expression. Participants will also explore how relational, cultural, and systemic factors influence both supervision and play therapy practice. 

In addition to the supervision model and process, participants will receive practical tools including ethical documentation, supervision forms, and evaluation resources to support supervisee development across all phases of training.
