Registration Open: 2026-2027 Synergetic Play Therapy Certification Program (Level 2) - Starts August 2026!
2025-09-01 - 2026-06-16 | Online
Enrollment is officially OPEN for the 2026-2027 Synergetic Play Therapy Certification Program!
We’re so excited to invite you to join us on this powerful journey of transformation, growth, and connection. Last year, we filled every single spot before the deadline — and we expect the same this year! So if you’ve been waiting for the moment to say yes to yourself, your growth, and the kids and families you serve… this is it.
This program isn’t just about becoming a better therapist — it’s about coming home to yourself. It’s about discovering your authenticity in and out of the playroom, strengthening your nervous system, deepening your presence, and learning how to use the therapeutic relationship as a profound tool for healing.
Here’s what one of our beautiful graduates had to say:
“SPT is the best certification course I’ve ever taken! Working with children over the past 22 years, I’ve never felt so in-sync with myself and being with my clients. I’m more confident and trusting of the process with the child and with the parent. I’m much more connected to myself and my body. I’m much more aware of what is going on in me, in the room, and with the child. I can more easily let go of the “shoulds” and just be with what is. I’m so happy and grateful that I’ve evolved and still will evolve further with SPT, to be the human and therapist I truly am.” — Barbara Favre, Switzerland
If her words speak to something inside you, we’d love for you to walk this path with us.
Over the course of 10 months, you’ll receive 85 hours of experiential and didactic learning, plus 13 hours of individual and group consultation to help you integrate everything on a deeper level.
You’ll learn how to:

Attune to yourself and your clients in a whole new way
Scaffold the development of a child’s interoceptive sense
Hold awareness of self and other (dual awareness) in order to become an attuned external regulator
Understand the underlying drivers behind human behavior and identity formation
Recognize and work with the ways trauma is stored in the body and mind to support shifts in a client’s narrative
Work with implicit memory to repattern the somatic imprints and protective patterns of the autonomic nervous system
Explore how the brain’s drive for internal balance (homeostasis) influences emotional states and responses
Understand the Vagus Nerve and the role it plays in trauma integration and regulation
Assess and work with a child’s emotional age
Use sensory system information to support neurodivergent clients
Stay present with your own activation that naturally arises in sessions and repattern your own nervous system response
Deepen your understanding of how to track a child’s progress on the SPT Therapeutic Stages
Use sand, art, and the sensory system in both directive and non-directive ways
Track and facilitate small moments and significant empowerment experiences in a client’s therapeutic journey
Work with non-verbal regressive states, endings, transitions, and so much more…

This is just a small taste of what we explore. You’ll dive into the projective process, physics and psychology, caregiver collaboration, and even directive work with teens, families, and adults using the SPT lens.
We’re here to support you in uncovering your brilliance and becoming the therapist — and human — you’re meant to be. 💫 Apply today to secure the early bird discount. The deadline is April 1st — but don’t wait. Seats are limited, and they fill fast.
