Where Play Therapy Is Magical
We believe in the power of play to heal, connect, and inspire.
Our training programs are designed to equip mental health professionals with the skills and knowledge to integrate play therapy effectively into their practice. Hands-on, experiential learning is at the core of how we teach, because play therapy is a practice you build through doing, not just reading about.
Training with Unicorn Life Training is an investment in your professional development and in the well-being of the clients you serve. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen skills you already have, our programs and workshops give you the knowledge, techniques, and support to bring play therapy into traditional psychotherapeutic settings and into workplace mental health and wellness programs.
Play therapy is a powerful psychotherapeutic modality, and it’s tempting for mental health professionals to want to jump straight into technique. But foundational training is what makes effective play therapy possible, whether you’re working with individuals, families, or groups.
Unicorn Life Training offers foundational courses built for those new to play therapy, giving you solid grounding in the principles and practices behind the approach. Every phase of the training is hands-on and creative, with practical strategies and resources to get you started. Don’t skip ahead, here’s what you can expect.
