Making the transition from an agency to private practice can be tricky, especially for a play therapist. Identifying key items for the playroom and effectively budgeting for play therapy materials are some of the most important things the play therapist has to consider. This webinar is designed to help mental health professionals who are interested in focusing their private practice on play therapy. This training will teach participants how to set up a play therapy office, suggestions on how to implement play therapy in the private practice setting, and ways to infuse evidence based play therapy techniques in all aspects of the therapeutic process. 

Learning Objectives:

1. Discover ways to support parents in understanding the benefits of play therapy.
   
2. Develop play therapy techniques to use during the intake process.
   
3. Analyze the benefits of incorporating play therapy into parent consultations.
   
4. Assess the importance of parent/guardian engagement in the playroom during parts of the play therapy process.
   
5. Prioritize essential items for the playroom (i.e., toys/supplies).
   
6. Evaluate ways to set up office space for a playroom, with consideration to different challenges in the private setting (i.e. office space, and size).
