Reflective Play Therapy Supervision

Support, Learning, and Connection for the Play Therapy Supervisor Community

What is Reflective Play Therapy Supervision?

Reflective Play Therapy Supervision (RFPTS) is a comprehensive, developmental model designed to meet a critical gap in training for play therapy supervisors. RFPTS offers a clear framework for understanding both supervisee development and the relational process of play therapy supervision itself. Grounded in reflection, relationship, and play, the model supports supervisors and clinicians in making sense of the what, when, and how of play therapy supervision—not just the content discussed. 

Through Reflective Play Therapy Supervision, play therapists strengthen their clinical identity and confidence, deepen reflective capacity, and sustain ethical, meaningful practice in service of children and families.

Who is RFPTS for?

  • Aspiring play therapy supervisors seeking a thoughtful and supported entry into supervision

  • Experienced supervisors looking for advanced continuing education, reflective consultation, and community

  • Play therapists who are not supervisors but want a developmental framework to support their clinical growth
