Play Therapy Supervision
The Center for Advanced Enrichment provides specialized play therapy supervision designed to support mental health professionals in developing the knowledge, skills, and clinical confidence necessary to effectively utilize play therapy with children and families. Our supervision experience is grounded in the belief that play is a child's natural language and that competent play therapists require intentional training, reflective practice, and ongoing professional support.
