Most play therapy workshops leave you with theory and good intentions. This one sends you home with a toolkit you'll use immediately.

Hands-On Practice in Small Groups
Work directly with sandtray, art supplies, and play therapy tools. Get personalized feedback so you're confident using techniques with clients on Monday morning.

Ready-to-Implement Interventions
Walk away with step-by-step handouts and protocols you can follow immediately. No guessing—just clear, practical guidance for real sessions.

Evidence Meets Reality
Learn why interventions work, then how to adapt them when parents don't show up, kids won't engage, or sessions go sideways.

Trauma Woven Throughout—Not a Side Topic
Every intervention integrates trauma neurobiology because that's what's driving the behaviors you're treating. You'll know exactly how to create safety for kids carrying unbearable stress.

Concrete Parent Engagement Strategies
Get specific scripts and activities for engaging resistant caregivers, repairing shame-filled relationships, and extending therapeutic impact beyond the playroom.

Built for Diverse, Real-World Caseloads
Direct discussion of how bias affects diagnosis, plus practical adaptations for the actual diversity of families you serve.

Learn From What Doesn't Work
Hear about complex cases including interventions that flopped and how to troubleshoot when progress stalls. Your caseload isn't filled with textbook examples—neither is this training.

Absolutely. This training is designed for therapists at all levels—whether you're just starting to explore play therapy, or you're looking to deepen your existing practice. Clair breaks down each technique step-by-step, so you'll walk away with interventions you can use immediately, regardless of your experience level. Many attendees tell us this was their first play therapy training and it gave them the confidence to start using these techniques right away.

This conference is designed for:

Yes! Virtual attendees get full access to the live training with real-time Q&A, the same up to 12.5 CE credits, and 14 days of unlimited replays. The main difference is the in-person experience includes face-to-face networking. Both formats give you complete access to all techniques, demonstrations, and materials. Choose the format that works best for your schedule and learning style.

This is a hands-on, practical training. You'll learn specific, ready-to-implement interventions like calm down jars, sandtray work, guided imagery, and parent-child activities. Past attendees consistently tell us they used new interventions in their very first session after the training. This isn't theory—it's tools you can put to work immediately.
