How to Get Better Results in Play Therapy Without Doing More

What if better results in play therapy didn’t come from more play therapy activities, more games, or more play therapy training — but from clearer thinking?


In this week’s free livestream episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real secret sauce: case conceptualization.


Because if you don’t know what’s driving the behavior, how do you decide what to do in play therapy sessions without guessing? 👀


We’ll talk about why your play therapy model actually matters (yep—models aren’t just theory flexes), and how using a play therapy model helps you intentionally access the therapeutic powers of play instead of hoping something sticks.


We’re also naming a hard truth:


Going to play therapy training after training without follow-up or application? That’s how overwhelm happens. Integration is where confidence is built. Application is where deep change lives.


And finally—we get real about something most play therapists feel but don’t always say out loud:
 👉 You’re not meant to do this work alone.


The therapeutic relationship with clients is central—but so is having a play therapy community for support, resources, idea-sharing, and strategic help using your play therapy model in real cases (not just in theory).


If you’ve ever left a play therapy session thinking, “Was that enough?”
 Or wondered, “Am I actually helping?”


Join me for this free weekly podcast and let’s make play therapy feel grounded again.


This week’s episode is for you so you can focus on 👇


Less doing.
More clarity.
Better results. ✨
