Virtual Annual State Conference 2021

Using Play Therapy with Trans and Non-Binary Clients - Lori Haas, LCMFT & Ragan Snyder Smith, LCSW, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor

Working with transgender children & teens in the playroom is complex and requires specific considerations and context. From a developmental & play lens, you will learn how sexuality and gender may present in the playroom. We will cover culturally sensitive language, strategies for working with families and considerations for addressing your own bias. Using case conceptualizations and experiential activities, you will walk away with play therapy intervention to implement immediately with trans and gender non-conforming clients.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After attending this workshop, participants will be able to:

  1. Define gender and sexuality through a developmental, historical and play lens.
  2. Explain how using culturally sensitive terms enhances therapeutic rapport in the playroom.
  3. Demonstrate 5 play therapy interventions specific to trans & gender non-conforming clients.
  4. Identify 3 strategies and resources to help families & caregivers support trans youth in play therapy.

Session limited to 40 participants. | Intermediate
