Certificate in Play Therapy

Play therapy can be a powerful method to support children in their healing and help them reconnect with others after difficult and traumatic experiences.

UW-Stout’s Play Therapy Certificate is designed for practicing mental health and related helping professionals, including school counselors, school psychologists, psychologists, social workers, and marriage and family therapists.

Distinguish your counseling career through a developmentally, ethically, and evidentially based approach to assist children in learning to communicate with others, express their needs, and develop problem-solving and coping skills, while relating to others. Throughout the certificate courses, you will have multiple opportunities to apply your learning by directly engaging with children to develop their play therapy skills under the supervision of a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor. The certificate can be completed by starting in either the fall or spring semester and finished by the end of the summer term.
