About the Program
The Advanced Certificate in Play Therapy Program is a one-year New York State Education Department approved sequence of four courses (16 credits) that provides background in play therapy and develops practitioner proficiency in the practice and supervision of play therapy with diverse populations.
The program enhances professional practice by working with practitioners to develop more effective ways of interacting with children and families. Classes emphasize experiential process and applied practice, with a focus on case material and seminar discussion.
The one-year sequence began in summer 2017. Candidates may also join the program in the fall or spring semesters.
