Are you a child and adolescent therapist who wants to integrate play therapy and creativity into your clinical work with your clients and you need ideas about how to help them?
Are you struggling to use play therapy and expressive arts because you're not sure what to do in sessions or feeling lost because you don't know if what you're doing is actually helping and you feel like an imposter?
Do you struggle with knowing how to get parents to engage in the play therapy change process and sometimes feel intimidated when working with them (secretly wishing you could just work with children and not their parents)?
