Amanda_Clinic5Antioch University Seattle Launches New Masters Concentration in
Play Therapy in Counseling and Family Therapy Programs

Certification also available for existing therapists

Based on its expertise in using different types of therapy to connect with individuals, Antioch University Seattle (AUS) announces the launch of a new play therapy concentration in its Counseling and Family Therapy master’s programs. The concentration is one of only a few in the nation, and centers on the unique healing modality that emphasizes expression and exploration through play, a natural medium of communication during growth and development.

Learn more on the Play Therapy website.

“There is a growing need for play therapists in therapeutic and educational settings because of the unique and dynamic ways that people communicate and play therapy’s effectiveness in helping children and families process life events in a safe, structured and healthy environment,” said Cary Hamilton, the program’s chief faculty member. “We are very excited to be offering this opportunity to current and future students.”

The one-year program, which will launch in the upcoming spring semester, has been developed to meet the academic requirements to achieve a Registered Play Therapist designation through the Association for Play Therapy, upon completion of a student’s respective Washington State licensure of LMFT or LMHC. It is also open to existing therapists who wish to add the play therapy certification to their areas of expertise.
