Q: Is this Play Therapy Certificate Program only for Florida-based therapists?
A Note from Stefani
You’re not just here to collect hours.
You’re here to grow.
​
This program was born from a decade of listening to what therapists truly need:
-
A space where they can be real, rest, and still learn deeply.
-
A space where identity is honored, curiosity is celebrated, and healing happens through play.
