MetroMFT Fall Conference - Uniting Family Therapy Theories with Play Therapy

Join Nancy Rumley Soliz, MS, LMFT, RPT-S—an experienced marriage and family therapist, clinical supervisor, and trainer—for an engaging and practical training designed to bring the whole family into the play room.

This course will take into consideration how the family can be used in play therapy. Classic schools of family theories such as Systems, Bowenian, Structural, Strategic, Experiential, and Cognitive-Behavioral Family Therapy will be explored as well as post-modern theories of Solution-Focused and Narrative therapy will be examined through the lens of play therapy. Participants will also learn various techniques and applications to use when families enter the play room.

Whether you’re a seasoned therapist or new to play therapy, you’ll leave with creative, theory-based tools to strengthen your work with families!
