Play Therapy and Expressive Arts
Play Therapy and Expressive Arts
This clinical supervision group focuses on helping mental health clinicians working with children, adolescents, and families to identify behavior and relationship patterns and identify underlying emotional issues for behavior in your clients so that you can use play therapy & expressive arts modalities in your clinical work. Using her "nerdy" superpowers, Cathi focuses on helping you apply theory and research using connection (attachment) to create safety and strong therapeutic rapport to help families heal. These are key components for creating an atmosphere to facilitate change. She'll help you hone your clinical case conceptualization and decision-making skills so that you can develop a treatment strategy using play therapy and expressive arts modalities that will successfully help your young clients, and their families, experience long-term positive treatment outcomes.

You'll learn how to tap into your own "nerdy" superpowers and mental health detective skills to become not just a good child/adolescent therapist - you'll become an excellent and sought after child/adolescent therapist is your community.
You’ll learn to use critical decision-making skills to determine what type of play therapy and expressive arts interventions to use and when to use them so you can develop confidence when working with parents.
You’ll also learn to recognize stages of treatment when using play therapy and expressive arts modalities.
It’s not enough to just take trainings to learn new skills because we need to know how to use the techniques learned in the trainings to help our specific clients as situations arise during our therapy sessions. That’s why it’s important to have the support and feedback from experts to help guide us when learning new skills (like your very own Yoda so you too can become a mental health Jedi).
The group meets twice monthly for 60 minutes using an online platform.
In addition to the group meetings, participants have access to a private group room for additional support and resources between group meetings.
