Advanced Synergetic Play Therapy Training Program
Take What You Know—and Stretch It Further
In-Person • Led by Lisa Dion • Meets Full Recertification Requirements
Refine and Apply SPT Across the Lifespan
During certification, you built a strong foundation in the principles of Synergetic Play Therapy—regulation, authenticity, congruence, attachment to self, and the therapist as the primary intervention.
This program takes those foundations and stretches them further.
Over four intensive days, you’ll revisit key Level 2 concepts while applying them in real-time through role plays, live demonstrations, case consultation, and experiential learning.
But you won’t just review the model.
You’ll embody it at a deeper level.
