The Boulder Center for Play Therapy offers practicum placement for Master’s level counseling students.

Overview

The Boulder Center for Play Therapy provides a unique, strength based, play-filled therapeutic environment for children, adolescents, couples, families and adults. Play therapy isn’t all about toys & games but rather approaching one’s self gently (vs. working really hard on yourself). The openness of play builds trust in one’s self, reduces stress, encourages communication, supports learning, promotes creative problem solving, and elevates mood. Interns and externs at BCPT will have the opportunity to work with a diverse population of children, families, adolescents, couples, adults, and groups doing strength-based counseling from a systems approach.
