Live training experiences for clinicians who want to deepen their understanding of the child-centered model.
‘I Am CCPT’ Live was created to bring Child-Centered Play Therapists together for meaningful learning, genuine connection, and a deeper exploration of the model we love.
‘I AM CCPT’ LIVE
The field of play therapy continues to evolve, and therapists today have access to more training opportunities than ever before.
Yet many clinicians seeking training specifically grounded in Child-Centered Play Therapy often find themselves searching for something deeper—a place where the child-centered model itself is the focus.
‘I Am CCPT’ Live was created to meet that need.
Our events are intentionally designed for therapists who want to explore the philosophy, principles, and practices of Child-Centered Play Therapy in greater depth. Rather than focusing on techniques from multiple approaches, our trainings are grounded in the child-centered tradition and the belief that understanding the model matters.
WHY “I AM CCPT?”
Over the years, we found ourselves returning to the same idea:
You don’t simply do Child-Centered Play Therapy. You become grounded in it.
The model begins to shape the way you think, the way you respond, and the way you understand children.
It influences your therapeutic presence, your interactions in the playroom, and your trust in the child’s capacity for growth.
“I Am CCPT” reflects that belief.
It is more than a statement about technique. It is a commitment to understanding, practicing, and representing the child-centered model with clarity, confidence, and fidelity.
YOU DON’T DO CCPT
YOU ARE CCPT
What Makes These Events Different?
Depth Over Breadth
Our goal is not to cover as many topics as possible. Our goal is to help therapists understand the child-centered model more deeply.
Connection Over Crowds
Learning happens best in community. Our events are intentionally designed to create opportunities for conversation, collaboration, and meaningful professional relationships.
Philosophy Before Technique
Skills matter. But skills make the most sense when they are grounded in a clear understanding of why they exist. Our trainings focus on helping therapists understand the reasoning behind the model—not just the mechanics of its application.
Fidelity Matters
We believe Child-Centered Play Therapy is a complete and coherent model. Our events are designed for clinicians who value understanding and practicing the model as it was intended.
