2027 Certified Synergetic Play Therapy Supervisor Recertification Program

$525.00

Registration Deadline is January 15, 2027!

The Certified Synergetic Play Therapy Supervisor Recertification Program, isn’t just about offering guidance—it’s about supporting Certified SPT Supervisors in continuing to embody the core tenets of Synergetic Play Therapy in their work with supervisees, and acknowledging that there is always room for growth and transformation in our work.

In this program, you will rediscover how to:

  • Establish strong, trusting supervisory relationships using SPT principles, as well as, how to assess supervisees at different stages of their development and guide their growth.
  • Navigate complex ethical dilemmas, including managing dual relationships, maintaining authenticity, and applying legal and ethical considerations in the supervision process.
  • Master cultural awareness and humility by applying SPT tenets through a cultural opportunity lens, supporting therapists in navigating diversity in their clinical work.
  • Enhance your supervisory skills by using reflective practice to empower supervisees to explore their therapeutic work and personal development, while also reflecting on your own patterns as a supervisor.

PLUS, this program has been completely redesigned! All recorded video content will be brand new to anyone certified prior to 2025!
