Training Description
This play therapy training is offered Live In-Person for contact hours and Virtual via Zoom Platform for non-contact hours.
Experiential activities have the power to deepen the supervisory relationship, but their greatest impact occurs when they are intentionally processed into meaningful clinical application. This workshop provides play therapy supervisors with a practical framework for selecting, facilitating, and processing experiential supervision activities that promote self-awareness, reflective practice, clinical decision-making, and supervisee development.
Participants will actively engage in experiential supervision activities designed to strengthen the supervisory alliance while learning how to translate each experience into play-based prompts, meaningful clinical questions, case conceptualization, and therapeutic interventions for children. A developmental and systemic lens is integrated throughout the workshop to support intentional supervisory decisions related to directiveness, supervisee growth, and the broader relational and cultural context influencing both supervisees and clients.
Participants will also learn how to adapt supervision activities for use with clients by developing play-based prompts, exploring the client’s perspective, and broadening experiential activities into meaningful therapeutic interventions. Rather than viewing experiential activities as ends in themselves, participants will learn how to intentionally select, facilitate, and process activities so they become meaningful vehicles for supervision, clinical reasoning, and supervisee development.
Participants will leave with ready-to-use supervision activities, ethical documentation, evaluation tools, and a structured process for transforming experiential activities into intentional play therapy supervision and clinical application.
Learning Objectives
1. Apply the ARC Integrative Supervision Model to guide supervision decision-making through assessment, response, and context
2. Apply a structured supervision process to translate experiential activities into clinical application, case conceptualization, and systemic understanding
3. Demonstrate the use of Core Foundational Activities to build the supervisory relationship, increase self-awareness, and support supervisee development
4. Integrate the Play Therapy Dimensions Model (PTDM) into supervision to guide clinical decision-making related to directiveness and consciousness
5. Adapt supervision activities for use in the playroom, including generating play-based prompts, clinical questions, and client-centered interventions
6. Analyze the impact of relational, cultural, and systemic factors on supervision and play therapy practice
7. Utilize supervision documentation and evaluation tools to support ethical practice, supervisee development, and regulatory requirements
