Ever felt like your playroom is bursting with supplies…
You’ve got the latest toy, fidget, slime, sand tray miniature, art supplies …
But you still leave sessions wondering what to do next?
Or maybe you've bought that activity you saw on Instagram… only to realize it doesn't really fit how you work? (Been there … done that)
You’re not alone.
Today we’re breaking down the secret to building a play therapy toolbox that’s not just full—but fully aligned with your theoretical play therapy model and the unique needs of your clients.
Let’s ditch the overwhelm and go for intentionality.
Here’s the truth:
Having a thousand toys and art supplies doesn’t make you a better play therapist.
What matters more is why you choose each tool—and how it fits into your understanding of the child, the problem, and the path to healing.
When your tools are rooted in your play therapy model, your goals, and the child’s needs… the magic happens.
So - join me for this free weekly podcast!
I’m going to walk you through strategies to make sure you’re getting the best results for your play therapy clients by using intentionality to align your play therapy activities with your play therapy model.
