In this 2.5-hour home study course, guest teacher Liliana Baylon explores the foundational principles of effective play therapy supervision. You’ll examine the theoretical frameworks that support ethical supervisory practice, clarify the distinctions between supervision and consultation, and explore the supervisor’s role in gatekeeping, professional development, and creating reflective learning experiences.
The course also addresses practical considerations that supervisors commonly encounter, including navigating ethical dilemmas, maintaining appropriate boundaries, adapting supervision across different practice settings and professional standards, and thoughtfully supporting supervisees from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Throughout the course, you’ll explore ways to encourage curiosity, reflective practice, and professional growth while honoring the unique learning process of each supervisee.
Whether you’re preparing to step into a supervisory role or looking to deepen your supervisory practice, this course offers a strong foundation for building thoughtful, ethical, and relationship-centered supervision.
This course is also a prerequisite for therapists applying to the Becoming a Certified Synergetic Play Therapy Supervisor Program.

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!”
