Online and live training in best practices for supervisors! Learn from Dr. Dee Ray, a leading expert in the field of Child-Centered Play Therapy, who has extensive knowledge and expertise in supervision of play therapists!

The process of becoming a play therapist is a journey of self-discovery, seeking knowledge, and building skills. Supervision is critical to promoting competent and effective play therapists but a supervisor must meet supervisees where they are developmentally in order to guide the supervision process successfully. This workshop will address the roles and best practices of supervisors at each supervisee developmental level from beginning student to practicing novice. Dr. Ray will address how play therapists develop and can be supervised over time to become more effective in their roles.
