Being both a therapist and a parent can be rewarding, meaningful, and—at times—difficult, confusing, tiring, or even exhausting. Moving between these two roles can bring unique challenges, especially when our professional experiences and our personal lives begin to overlap.
Lisa understands this experience firsthand, having spent more than 15 years navigating both roles. In this free, one-hour recorded webinar, she explores how to care for yourself while being present and available both in the playroom and at home.
Together, we’ll explore ways to navigate the emotional demands of being a therapist and a parent, reconnect with ourselves, and release some of the pressure that can come with trying to do both roles “well.”

Why Add SPT to Your Practice?
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
