“Lisa is a highly talented educator, trainer, and supervisor. She articulates concepts in a way that connects her to her audience, and uses an experiential approach to teaching that provides students and supervisees with a deeper understanding of the material at hand. Lisa’s passion for her work is palpable, and I believe that anyone lucky enough to be one of her students/ supervisees will be gripped by the same passion that informs her life.”

Nicole H. , Certified Synergetic Play Therapist

“Lisa is at the forefront of the play therapy world, incorporating biology and neurology into her work, currently known as Synergetic Play Therapy. She is able to conceptualize play therapy in a way that has not been explored before — from the perspective of nervous system function and regulation. She seeks to frame her understanding of health from the most universal perspective possible and to support the natural movement towards authenticity through understanding and working with the projective process, relational attunement and self regulation.”

Christie G., Director, Boulder Center For Play Therapy

“Most profound learning shift for me in years. Thank you.”

Student, Association for Play Therapy International Conference

“I don’t know how to thank Lisa enough for the transformative experience she has provided. She is teaching exactly what needs to be taught right now, and the way she goes about teaching it – with such clarity, kindness, generosity, and vision – is incomparable. I have never in my life, experienced such a profound workshop experience.”

“Lisa Dion came to Tennyson Center for Children and provided a comprehensive, two-day training for more than 20 of our Day Treatment, Residential and In-Home therapists. Collectively, our therapists felt that the training was the perfect balance of theory, skill modeling and skill practice. Most of our clinical staff wished they could have extended the training for additional days because they felt they were learning so much. Lisa was a dynamic speaker with an expertise that fit perfectly with our client population of children and adolescents who have experienced abuse and neglect. Our therapists felt more confident and competent in play therapy after only two days of training with Lisa.”
