If you are new to play therapy, TNAPT offers a 6.0 continuing education foundational training to get you started! "Getting Started in Play Therapy" is offered on a recurring basis as often as needed and can also be brought to on-site as well. Please go to the "New to Play Therapy" page for more info. We soon hope to be expanding this training by offering across the state by several of our board members. Foundational training is a necessary component if you are working towards your RPT/RPT-S/SB- RPT, so if you missed that step along the way, this is one way to obtain that training. Next date: Saturday, June 1 in Smyrna!
We are also continuing our "Getting Started in Sandtray in Play Therapy." This training has been much requested by members and we are glad to offer it as the second part of our Getting Started series of trainings. Next Date: Friday, May 17 in Smyrna.
When we offer this training as a co-sponsorship or branch outreach, this same training is called Sandtray Basics in Individual, Family and Play Therapy. We can bring this to area agencies or practices upon request. We are next doing this on Saturday, August 23 in Somerset, KY.
Contact Jamie Langley at jamielynnlangley@gmail.com for more information for any of these trainings.

The Tennessee Association for Play Therapy (TNAPT) was formed in 1993 as a branch of the Association for Play Therapy. Our goal then and now remains the same: to promote play therapy by providing information, networking and workshops. It is our hope that this website can provide updated information to assist this goal.
Play Therapy is the systematic use of a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process wherein trained play therapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help clients prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development. (Association for Play Therapy)
Why play? Play is a child's natural form of communication as they express themselves more fully with their play.
