Have you been searching for ways to create a deeper impact for your clients? Or perhaps you are wanting to improve or learn more about ...

Becoming an external regulator to support children with integration and repatterning the activation of their nervous system.

Supporting healing at deeper levels through right brain to right brain attuned communication.

Teaching children interoceptive (body) awareness (...the key ingredient for self-regulation and co-regulation).

Creating a neuroception of safety for a child when emotional flooding happens.

Setting boundaries with the brain in mind to not minimize, shame or shut down the child's play, but keep them engaged in their therapy process.

Building collaborative relationships with caregivers to support their child's therapeutic process.

Developing goals, tracking a child's therapeutic process, and translating what's happening during the child's therapy session to their caregiver(s) and others in the world.

Helping children develop a secure attachment to themselves (...a foundation of resilience).

Applying SPT concepts from a cultural lens for a more inclusive and culturally sensitive clinical orientation where a client's unique experiences and needs are honored.

How to feel a little more like YOU in the therapy process (...because we know inauthenticity is the fastest way to burnout and compassion fatigue).

Learn all of this and so much more! Online Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy is a comprehensive 32-hour program that explores the foundational skills of SPT. This six-month online program is designed for both beginning and advanced practitioners and will take you on a journey to explore the neuroscience behind what is happening in the play therapy process, how to effectively work with caregivers and what it means to create a neuroception of safety allowing both the child and the caregiver to have a deeper integration, and (....if this wasn't enough), you'll come to understand the magic of aggressive play, sand and art from the perspectives of nervous system regulation, attunement, attachment, mindfulness, and authenticity.
Come discover what showing up in the playroom truly means and explore what is happening in the play therapy process, how change occurs, and ultimately what it takes to help children heal at profound levels. And the best part is, you get to be you on the journey!

Check out what past students had to say about their experiences in the course!

Ethical Issues in Play Therapy Supervision (2024)
Course Will BE Rescheduled Due to Unforeseen Circumstances!

Please contact the Institute if you have any questions in the meantime!
As a Play Therapist Supervisor supporting supervisees (or as someone on their way to becoming a supervisor), you know that working with children and their families involves a complexity that is like no other, especially when thinking about legal and ethical considerations. When navigating the ethical issues that arise during the play therapy process, we have found that many Play Therapy Supervisors often ask:

What exactly is my role and how do I stay in my role?

What should my paperwork and documentation look like?

What are my ethical responsibilities as a supervisor?

How do I increase my awareness on how cultural diversity impacts play therapy, and thus supervision?"

To address these and other important questions, Liliana Baylon, LMFT-S, RPT-S* and the Synergetic Play Therapy Institute's Cultural Ambassador, will lead you through a 3-hour online course on the topic of "Ethical Issues in Play Therapy Supervision". This live webinar course will help you and other Play Therapist Supervisors manage both the administrative and clinical aspects of play therapy supervision while adhering to general ethical considerations and guidelines. And, if you are a Certified SPTer planning to enroll in the next offering of the Becoming a Certified Synergetic Play Therapy Supervisor program, completion of this course will count toward the program requirement of completing a course related to the topics of legal and/or ethics in play therapy supervision! This is an opportunity to get that requirement out of the way now! For class details and objectives, see below.

How to Support and Understand An Adoptee Through A Play Therapy Lens

Every adoption experience is unique, with a wide variety of perceptions. Yet at the heart of many stories is the deep sense of grief and loss, not only for the children but for the parents too. This can show up in and out of the playroom as complex trauma and a struggle with relationships. Healing involves helping children and parents connect to themselves, simultaneously asking therapists to become aware of the impact of the complexity and emotions that also arise within themselves. This course explores this complex issue.

Engaging the Resistant Child in Play Therapy

Every therapist has been there - in a session with a child who doesn't want to come in the room, a child who doesn't want to do the task, a child who only wants to avoid the issue. This webinar explores what to do when a child client's language and behavior say "no." Join us as we explore resistance, with a focus on differentiating resistance from avoidance and differentiating resistance from the dorsal collapse in the nervous system. Emotional flooding is explored as well.
