What’s your least favorite part about providing play therapy services to your clients?

Let me tune into my mind reading skills to read your mind 💭- documentation, right?

Over the last 30 years in the child and adolescent mental health field, I’ve never met a therapist who says they love writing progress notes, treatment plans, and psychosocial assessments as much as or more than working with clients in sessions.

What I have learned over the last 30+ years is HOW to write progress notes, treatment plans, and psychosocial assessments using a process that helps me get it done quickly and in a way that’s actually useful.

The key is learning these simple strategies to give you a framework so your documentation looks professional, meets agency and insurance standards, and shows the story of your client’s journey in play therapy.

Join me for this weekly podcast, I’m going to walk you through the process of how you can make your play therapy documentation sound professional, meet agency and insurance standards, and help you get the best results for your clients without wasting hours agonizing over it.
