Conceptualizing Cases from a Synergetic Play Therapy Lens

One of the greatest challenges in play therapy is making sense of what unfolds in the playroom. While children naturally communicate through play, translating those rich, right-brain experiences into a clear clinical understanding can leave therapists wondering: What is this child showing me? Where are they in the therapeutic process? How do I communicate their progress to parents and other professionals?

Conceptualizing Cases from a Synergetic Play Therapy Lens

Conceptualizing Cases from a Synergetic Play Therapy Lens

In this 1-hour home study course, Lisa Dion, in collaboration with PIP Solutions, introduces a Synergetic Play Therapy framework for conceptualizing cases with greater intention and coherence. You’ll explore the Therapeutic Stages in Synergetic Play Therapy, learn key principles for understanding a child’s progression through the therapeutic process, and discover how thoughtful goal setting can support both clinical decision-making and meaningful communication about the child’s growth.

Rather than viewing play as a series of isolated moments, this course will help you recognize the patterns, themes, and nervous system shifts that emerge over time. By learning to conceptualize cases through a Synergetic Play Therapy lens, you’ll deepen your understanding of the therapeutic process while developing a clearer roadmap for supporting each child’s unique journey toward integration and healing.

  • “I personally took a lot out of this [program], not all of it was new, but what was new was extremely useful and impactful. What wasn’t new was an excellent reminder to go back to my roots of attachment and emotional work when working with children just like I have worked with youth and adults over the years but in a slightly different context. My entire team has felt the positive impact of this training on our work and we are very happy that we all did it at the same time. We will be able to continue to practice it together and that is very exciting.”

    Mike Smith

  • “This experience has been validating to my entire human experience, and offered a clear framework to better connect with myself, client, and world! I know this was only the tip of the iceberg into integrating these powerful concepts, and I’m so hooked, I’ve already signed up for certification to continue my journey!”

    Jessie Brockmeier

  • “It’s been over 2 years since I took the Synergetic Play Therapy [program]. One of the best choices I’ve ever made. The magnitude of deeply attuning with our clients…and ourselves…is immeasurable!”
