Gain a deeper understanding of how complex trauma impacts children's development, attachment, emotional regulation, identity, and behavior. This advanced training explores recognizing and treating dissociation, integrating ego states work, and utilizing play therapy, expressive modalities, and body-based interventions to help children feel safe, regulated, and ready for healing.

This 1 hour of Play Therapy Group Supervision with Michelle Walker, LCSW, RPT-S will be a child-centered, process-oriented group where you will be given the opportunity for case consultation, themes exploration, and overall clinical support.

Staying Centered equips play therapists with the tools to create developmentally appropriate, clinically sound treatment plans and documentation that remain true to the principles of CCPT. Participants will learn how to identify therapeutic goals grounded in the child’s emotional and developmental needs, monitor progress using play-based indicators, and document sessions in a way that reflects the child’s process while meeting the clinical, ethical, and administrative expectations of diverse practice settings.
