Just starting your private practice? Sublet one of offices and receive training on the steps to take in getting your practice up and running!

We enjoy being part of a collaborative therapeutic team. When you are working with clients who's children might benefit from play therapy, or you might feel that your client would make important progress if they had a few family sessions in conjunction with the individual work you are already doing... we would welcome the opportunity of working with you as part of the clinical team.  For a case example of how this collaboration might look, read our published article "Playing With Your Clients".

Individual Therapy for Clinicians . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Its so important for professional listeners to be listened to as well!
Keep track of the potential for compassion fatigue setting in by revitalizing a bit and attend to your own personal and professional needs. Plus it always helps to actually do some of the things we encourage our clients to do.

Interns . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
For interns, receiving your own individual therapy helps on multiple levels. Process the many transitions and feelings associated with becoming a therapist.  Plus it adds a valuable extra 300 contact hours toward the process of obtaining your license. Form a deeper understanding of the many challenges and hesitations that some of your clients might have by sitting in their chair for awhile.

Some of our play therapy trainings might be of interest to you since many agencies require that you work with child clients. These trainings, as well as our consultation groups, help fill in a few of the missing pieces regarding play therapy techniques and theory so you can use these new skills in working with families and children. Another benefit of our group or individual consultations is that they allow more time for in-depth discussions than supervision usually allows.
