Finding a play therapist for your child that you trust should be easy and affordable.
As a clinician that has worked for several non-profit organizations, I see how difficult it is for families to find effective child mental healthcare when they no longer have access to that non-profit. Each family is unique, and finding a therapist that works best for your child is needed now more than ever.
We at Play Therapy 123 look to bridge that gap in making play therapy with quality, trusted therapists attainable. Each of our therapists are either a fully trained and certified Registered Play TherapistTM (RPT) or under supervision to become an expert in play.
This certification includes at least:
- 2 full years of devoted play therapy experience
- 350 play clients served
- 35 supervision hours by a Registered Play Therapist- SupervisorTM
- and 150 hours of dedicated play therapy instruction
