What No One Taught Us in Grad School: Building a Private Practice as a Play Therapist
A grounded guide for play therapists who want to start their own private practice
“I want to go into private practice… but I have no idea where to start.”
If you’ve ever said that—or even just thought it while scrolling job boards—you’re in good company.
Most play therapists enter the field through community mental health, schools, or agencies. And while those roles offer rich experience, they often leave us overworked, underpaid, and emotionally depleted.
Private practice can be a powerful next step… but it can also feel confusing, lonely, and overwhelming.
That’s exactly why we created Build Your Play Therapy Private Practice—a self-paced course designed to walk you through every stage of starting and launching your own practice, with heart and practicality.
What We’ll Walk You Through
In this course, you’ll learn how to:
Define your vision and build a caseload that actually works for your life
Set up your paperwork, systems, and tech tools with ease
Talk about your work in a way that feels authentic
Set your fees (and deal with the money stuff that comes up)
Create a playroom and waiting room that support co-regulation and connection
Launch with confidence and clarity
This Isn’t Business School—It’s Real Support for Real Therapists
We created this course because we’ve been in your shoes.
We’ve walked through the confusion, the late-night Googling, the “can I really do this?” self-doubt.
Now we’re on the other side—and we want to offer a clear, kind path forward for others.
Enrollment opens April 1.
