Unlocking Potential: Empowerment through Play Therapy Supervision
Presented by Tara Moser, LCSW, CAAIS, RPT-S™
Supervision is crucial for play therapists as they navigate the complexities of their profession. Effective supervision provides a framework for developing essential skills and integrating advanced play therapy techniques into practice. Through supportive and empowering environments, supervisors can cultivate the growth and confidence of their supervisees, ensuring they are well-equipped to handle ethical dilemmas and best practices in their therapeutic work. Moreover, supervision allows for the exchange of hands-on activities and case studies, enriching the learning experience and enhancing the supervisory process. Ultimately, the role of supervision is pivotal in unlocking the potential of play therapists, guiding them toward becoming proficient and compassionate practitioners.
