CREDENTIALS Although I am not a formal person who defines herself by credentials, I am a professional who has earned many credentials and they do describe one important aspect of who I am. (see my Journey.) I have a B.S. in Psychology from Trinity College, an M.A. in Community Psychology from Temple University, and a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Immaculata University. I am a Registered Play Therapy Supervisor (click for more information about this credential ), which is the highest national credential in Play Therapy, and my training organization The Art of Communicating is approved by the Association for Play Therapy to offer continuing education specific to play therapy. APT Provider No. 95-021. I also have international certifications in Play Therapy: I am a Certified Professor of Child Psychotherapy and Play Therapy, a Certified Child Psychotherapist and Play Therapist and a Certified Supervisor of Child Psychotherapists & Play Therapists (View listing). I am thus qualified to supervise and train other therapists who want to earn their national or international Play Therapy credentials. Alternative Healing Approaches I Use I am also trained in One Brain. One-Brain is a Mind-Body technique that uses muscle testing to find and correct blocks in the brain that effect emotions, relationships and learning. These blocks are often associated with past trauma. I am also trained in Integrated Energy Therapy (IET). IET is a Mind-Body-Spirit technique that releases negative emotions that are stored in cellular memory in order to allow us to achieve our life goals and heal more fully from painful life experiences. These two techniques are discussed with clients, when I feel they might benefit someone, and they are offered as an adjunct to traditional talk and play therapies. Clients who have experienced these techniques with me report that they feel a tremendous release from painful emotions and an increased ability to pursue their life goals effectively. Professional Affiliations I am a member of the Pennsylvania Psychological Association, the Association for Play Therapy, the Pennsylvania Association for Play Therapy, and Play Therapy International. I am also a member of the Registration & Continuing Education Committee of the national play therapy association, APT, and I was a founding member of the PA APT. Clinical Experience I have worked in the past 31 years in a wide variety of settings, including a rape crisis center, a community mental health center, state and private psychiatric hospitals, private non-profit organizations, colleges and universities and private practice. My clients have ranged in age from 2 to 92 years of age. I have, as a psychologist, provided therapy (individual, group and family) and supervision and training to other psychologists, therapists and interns. I have performed psychological testing and many psychological evaluations. This is not a focus of my current practice. I have also been an adjunct instructor in several graduate programs in Psychology and School Counseling. In my early career, I worked in a county-wide program for prevention of substance abuse, in county-wide community education and prevention programs in mental health and in transitioning formerly institutionalized adults with mental retardation back to community life.
