Parents are essential partners in Child-Centered Play Therapy, but involvement doesn’t mean access to everything that happens in the playroom.
In CCPT, confidentiality protects the child’s sense of safety, autonomy, and trust. When children know their play and words are held with care, deeper healing becomes possible.
Parent involvement happens alongside the child’s work:
• Sharing observations from home and school
• Learning CCPT-aligned strategies
• Noticing growth, confidence, and emotional language
• Meeting separately to support regulation and connection
We don’t share exact words or private play narratives.
We do share themes, progress, and ways parents can support their child outside the playroom.
When confidentiality and collaboration are balanced well, everyone benefits, especially the child.

Do you ever get angry, frustrated, worried, etc. when someone lies?

This is such a great visual explanation on the science behind lying!

Today, our mental health community grieves the tragic loss of Rebecca White, LMHC, who was killed Monday while serving her clients in Orlando.

Rebecca was doing what we all do every day - showing up to help those in pain, offering hope in dark moments, and creating space for healing. She was 44 years old. She was a licensed professional. She was one of us.

We didn’t know Rebecca personally, but we know her work. We know the courage it takes to sit across from suffering. We know the heart it requires to stay present with people in crisis. We know the calling that drives us to this sacred work, even when it comes with risks we don’t always talk about.

Our hearts break for Rebecca’s family, her colleagues, her clients who trusted her, and the brave client who tried to intervene and was also injured. We’re holding all of them in our prayers today.

To our fellow therapists: Please take a moment today to pause. To breathe. To acknowledge that what we do matters - and that sometimes, it costs more than it should.

Rebecca White’s life mattered. Her work mattered. Today, we honor her.

If you’re a therapist processing this tragedy, please reach out for support. You don’t have to carry this alone.

Rest in peace, Rebecca. 🕊️
