Mindful Mending

We’ve just completed our first two-day, 12 hour CCPT training and it was such a blast! It was incredible watching everyone engage, ask thoughtful questions, PLAY, and take in so much information throughout these last two days.

Thank you all so much for coming out, being present, and investing in this work. Seeing so many passionate clinicians gathered together was a great reminder of how much care, dedication, and heart child therapists bring into the playroom every day. The future of children’s mental health is brighter because of the work you all are doing.

Also, special shout-out to Justin Smith for coaching, providing support, and offering your expertise to this training!

Confidence in the playroom comes from clarity and practice.
In May, I’ll be leading a 12 hour Child Centered Play Therapy training at the Louisville Nature Center designed for therapists who want to strengthen their foundation and refine their skills in CCPT.
This training goes beyond theory. We will focus on:
• Understanding the core principles of CCPT
• Applying Axline’s approach with intention
• Strengthening core therapeutic responses
• Developing confident, consistent limit setting
• Exploring cultural considerations in the playroom
• Learning how to clearly explain CCPT to parents and caregivers
• Engaging in experiential practice and integration
You’ll leave with a clear framework, practical tools, and language you can use immediately in both the playroom and parent conversations.
We’ve partnered with Phoenix Preferred Care to provide 12 live, in-person CE hours for this training, including NBCC and APT credit.
If you’re looking for meaningful, in person continuing education that deepens your child centered work, I invite you to join us.
