• Synergetic Play Therapy® Consultation

    Price range: $70.00 through $140.00
    Sometimes you don't need another training—you need a place to pause, get curious, and talk through what you're discovering in your work. Whether you're deepening your application of Synergetic Play Therapy, integrating something you've recently learned, or simply curious about what an SPT lens might bring to your practice, individual consultation offers an opportunity to explore your clinical work with the support of an SPT Consultant. Consultation can be especially helpful if you:
    • Have previously taken an SPT program and want ongoing support as you integrate SPT into your practice.
    • Have taken one of our 1-5 hour courses and want to explore how the concepts apply to your clinical work.
    • Have attended an event or training with Lisa Dion and want support integrating what you experienced into your practice.
    • Are new to Synergetic Play Therapy and would like to explore your clinical work through an SPT lens!
    Bring your questions, a challenging case, something you've been noticing in the playroom, or simply your curiosity. Consultation is an opportunity to slow down and explore what's happening beneath the presenting behavior—including the child's nervous system, your own experience as the therapist, and the relationship between you and your client. Choose the consultation format that works for you:
    • Individual Consultation – 30 minutes
    • Individual Consultation – 50 minutes
    Use the dropdown menu to select your preferred session length, then select the number of sessions you'd like to purchase. *If you are currently enrolled in a Level 1, 2, or 3 Synergetic Play Therapy signature program, please refer to your program's course site for the appropriate consultation link or contact the Institute for support.
