The Association for Play Therapy (APT) is a national professional society established in 1982 to foster contact among mental health professionals interested in exploring and applying the therapeutic power of play to communicate with and treat clients, particularly children. Every year APT designates one week in February as National Play Therapy Week and encourages members to recognize play therapists and the importance of play therapy.
The mission of APT is to promote the value of play, play therapy, and credentialed play therapists. APT offers three credentials:
The requirements for each credential is outlined on their web site.
The DFW Center for Play Therapy is proud to be an APT Approved Provider of Continuing Education. We offer training, at our Plano, TX center, on a monthly basis for therapists to not only earn credit toward play therapy credentialing but to feel encouraged and supported while they develop the skills needed to be an effective play therapist.
We have therapists from across the country who travel to North Texas to train at our center and network with other professionals who are passionate about play therapy. We extend an invitation to you to join us at a future workshop. Subscribe to our email list and you'll be among the first to know what workshop topics we have on our schedule.
If you have any questions about play therapy, play therapy credentialing, or the workshops we offer please contact us for more information.
