What other therapists are saying about the guide 🤔
“This is the guide I wish I had when I started working toward becoming a Registered Play Therapist! Hannah has thoughtfully created a comprehensive resource—including a spectacular spreadsheet—that makes it easy to track your progress on the journey to becoming an RPT. This guide will support you from the very beginning all the way through to completing your application."
— Andrea Bueno-Acosta, LCMHC, RPT
“When Hannah first sent this to me, I thought I was just looking at color schemes, branding, grammar and spelling etc and looking it over for her - I never expected to walk away with about 15 new things I had learned about play therapy and becoming an RPT. Thanks to this guide, I feel confident in hiring my own RPT and the skill set(s) I am looking for. I also send everyone working with children, interested in becoming an RPT, or maybe they are already an RPT to this guide. It is all you need from front to back cover - even down to the CEU tracker, no detail is missed. This is honestly a steal because it is so incredibly jam packed with information. We are so very thankful for Hannah and her knowledge surrounding play therapy, actual child centered and focused care, and the much needed education she is providing to future RPT’s and RPT’s. Don’t sit on this!! Buy.”
