Play Therapy Supervision
Candy & Machen are both Registered Play Therapist Supervisors and offer several options for those interested in pursuing training in Play Therapy or for those who are working towards their Registered Play Therapist credential.
15 of the 35 required supervision hours for your RPT can be group supervision and the rest must be from individual supervision. We are happy to offer both!
• Individual play therapy supervision for professionals & graduate students
• Group play therapy supervision for professionals
• Group play therapy supervision for graduate students

Owner of Wired to Bloom
Certified Synergetic Play Therapist Supervisor, Foundational Theraplay® Practitioner, EMDR Trained, NMT Phase 1 Certified
My goal as a supervisor is to create a welcoming, safe place to engage in a collaborative process. Using the roles of teacher, counselor, and consultant, I strive to meet clinicians where they are at in their professional development by taking a person-centered and developmental model.
Together, we will work to grow in the following areas: process (what you’re actually doing in sessions like interventions and techniques), conceptualization (how you think about your cases), personalization (helping you be the most authentic therapist you can be), and administration (case notes, ethics, etc).
