With a Certificate of Advanced Study in Play Therapy, learn to work with children and adolescents in a culturally responsive, developmentally appropriate, neuro and attachment-informed manner.
Earn your Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) in Play Therapy from New England’s first credentialed play therapy education center, the Sacred Heart Institute for Play Therapy and Expressive Arts Education and Research. The institute is approved by the Association for Play Therapy. With a low-residency component, this 18-credit, online program is ideal for working clinicians who want to advance their credentials. Most courses in this two-year program are asynchronous, allowing students to complete their coursework on an individual basis, with the exceptions of the synchronous Practicum I and II as well as the Residency course with the three-day on-ground Play Therapy Residency included.
