Center for Play Therapy

Monday through Thursday 9am-4pm
Located in 425 Welch St Complex 2 Stop by our office! Our office hours are Monday - Thursday 10 AM - 5 PM.

The Center for Play Therapy is the result of twenty five years of planned development of a play therapy program in the Department of Counseling and Higher Education at the University of North Texas. Interest in play therapy training by graduate students and practicing professionals in the fields of counseling, psychology, social work, and early childhood education resulted in the addition of specialized courses of instruction to North Texas' play therapy curriculum. This training also increased the need for additional play therapy rooms for practice and supervision of play therapists in training. Concomitant with these developments, in 1973 the counseling department began to sponsor an annual Play Therapy Conference on the University of North Texas campus. These conferences attracted nationally recognized authorities in the field of play therapy and participants from a wide geographical region.
