Play Therapy with Teens and Adults

Learn play therapy tools you can use with teens and adults!

Description

In this exciting and entertaining workshop, you will get to experience a wide variety of fun play therapy activities that you can use with your teen and adult clients.  Our focus will be on creative strategies that play therapists can use to "hook" adolescents and adults  into engaging fully in the therapeutic process. Through these play therapy interventions, clients can gain a sense of belonging, develop positive identities, increase self-esteem, build meaningful relationships, gain personal power in positive ways, and practice appropriate expression of feelings, including anger.  The presenter will use structured play therapy interventions; art techniques; and movement, music and dance exercises built on a foundation of Adlerian play therapy concepts and strategies.
