Discover effective techniques to engage and heal adolescents.
Tired of having tweens and teens sit silently in your play therapy office, ignoring all of your attempts to engage them?
Wondering how to make them feel heard and and make progress when they won't engage?
When kids are "too big" to play--Adlerian can be a perfect fit!
Introducing Adlerian Play Therapy with Tweens and Teens - a unique course designed to equip therapists with the tools to effectively engage older children through play therapy.
Whether attending live in Houston or via our live stream, you'll gain valuable insights that set your practice apart.
I have spent more therapy hours than I ever dreamed of trying to engage tweens or teens in a session.
After planning activities, games, targeted interventions that I just knew would open the door for them to make that progress their parents are expecting--silence.
Just sitting. Not talking. Giving one-word answers to every statement or question.
While I think about how worried their parents are, how much my client is struggling, and how I have great play ideas if I could just get them to give them a chance.
Adlerian Play Therapy gives therapists for tweens and teens a way to connect with adolescents and help them gain insight and skills for navigating the absolute obstacle course that is their life.
