Discover the Program

This 6-month online program is designed for both beginning and experienced practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of play therapy and integrate neuroscience into their practice. Here’s what you’ll explore:

Regulation

• Become an external regulator to support repatterning a child’s nervous system for integration and healing.
• Teach interoceptive (body) awareness—the key to self-regulation and co-regulation.
• Understand how nervous system activation connects to mental health symptoms.

The Brain & Neuroscience

• Create a neuroception of safety even during emotional flooding.
• Set boundaries that support brain integration while keeping children engaged.
• Use reflections and responses that target multiple areas of the brain for deeper healing.

Collaborative Relationships

• Build effective partnerships with caregivers to support the therapeutic process.
• Help caregivers see that all behaviors make sense, even challenging ones.
• Track a child’s progress and translate their play into meaningful insights for caregivers and other professionals.

Authenticity & Congruence

• Use therapist authenticity to promote profound client change and prevent burnout.
• Explore aggressive play, sand, and art through the lenses of regulation, mindfulness, and attachment.
• Cultivate cultural sensitivity to honor each child’s unique experiences and needs.

“SPT is the missing piece in play therapy. I gained an understanding of who I am in the playroom—a humanness that wasn’t there before.” – Frances Donohue
