Virtual Play Therapy Training 

Child-centered play therapists often struggle to translate deep, relational, heart-centered work into treatment plans that align with the medical model’s emphasis on measurable objectives. This training introduces a clear, practical framework for creating treatment plans that remain true to Child-Centered Play Therapy while still meeting documentation and medical necessity requirements.

Participants will learn how to conceptualize cases and develop symptom objectives alongside growth-oriented language using the Child-Centered Documentation “two-lane” approach. The workshop explores ways to link play themes, relational shifts, and internal growth with observable changes that caregivers and systems can track. Through brief case examples and applied practice, attendees will leave with tools to create child-centered play therapy treatment plans that honor the therapeutic process and meet external documentation needs.

Objectives:

1. Describe the challenges of aligning Child-Centered Play Therapy with medical-model treatment planning requirements.
2. Explain the core components of the Child-Centered Documentation “two-lane” approach for integrating symptom objectives with growth-oriented objectives.
3. Identify ways to assess progress in child-centered play therapy, including shifts in play themes, relational dynamics, and internal growth.
4. Apply strategies to link therapeutic play sessions with measurable outcomes that caregivers and systems can recognize and support.
