The Program in Play Therapy provides a culturally competent, imagination-based, creative approach to supporting children's development and learning through environmental design, arts and play-based interventions. Play therapy is an applied approach that draws on the connection between emotional, creative and cognitive growth in childhood. It is applicable to a variety of environments with diverse children who present with typical development or with developmental, learning, linguistic, or behavioral concerns. It is the intervention of choice for children and their families who have experienced life disruptions including divorce, loss, dislocation and migration, illness, or trauma, including abuse, neglect, violence, war and natural disasters.
The Program provides graduate-level training for clinicians and graduate students in creative arts therapy, mental health counseling, school counseling, psychology, school psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, psychoanalysis, medicine/ physician assistant, nursing or other appropriate professions.
Mental health clinicians who complete the Graduate Certificate in Play Therapy may apply for the RPT Registered Play Therapist (RPT) and Supervisor (RPT-S) credentials conferred by the Association for Play Therapy (APT). Brooklyn College's Play Therapy Project, of which the Advanced Certificate Program in Play Therapy is a key component, has been designated by APT as both an Approved Center of Play Therapy Education and an Approved Provider of Play Therapy Continuing Education.
