FOR CLINICANS

Continuing Education

As mental health professionals, we continuously need to sharpen our knowledge and skills. CEs are important for licensure renewals, certification renewals, and continuing education keeps us relevant and up to date with the latest in research and best practice.

We are pleased to offer various continuing education trainings for Play Therapy and Advanced EMDR Workshops. We also offer rich Play Therapy Supervision and EMDR Consultation to support your continued professional growth and expertise. Our online Play Therapy trainings meet the Association for Play Therapy’s definition of a live webinar (post-test required).

Each of our professional trainers not only enjoy providing you with up to date and relevant content based on the latest research, but they also have a strong passion for supporting you on your professional development journey with supervision and consultation.
