Career prospects

The programme has been developed to meet the majority of academic requirements for Registered Play Therapist (RPT) designation through the Association for Play Therapy when combined with completion of a Washington state LMFT or LMHC license. Students are advised to pursue additional play-therapy training and professional activities (for example, conferences and state association meetings) to satisfy all RPT requirements and broaden clinical experience.
