Congrats to Class of 2026 Certified SPTers!

Let’s give a hearty welcome to our newest Certified Synergetic Play Therapists and Providers. These 124 Certified SPTers come from 29 U.S. states and 11 countries including Australia, Egypt, Croatia, Slovakia, New Zealand, Mexico, South Africa, Canada, UK, and Nigeria. We’re excited to celebrate our newest Certified SPTers’ dedication over the last 10 months and proud to have you as part of our growing community of professionals making a meaningful impact.

A heartfelt thank you to all of the consultants who supported this program and helped make it such a success. We’re especially grateful to Katherine Eastlake, Khris Rolfe, Kim Buller, Polly Douglass who just completed their final session — your contributions, dedication, and impact have truly meant a great deal, and you’ll be deeply missed.
