Bringing therapeutic play to every child

CBPT Partners was created from the belief that the most meaningful change happens when professionals, families, schools, and communities work together. Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy (CBPT) is a psychotherapy approach that places the child at the center, honoring their natural language—play—and the therapeutic relationship as a tool for growth. To share this model in an ethical, accessible, and scientifically grounded way, we have built an international network of partners who share our values, vision, and commitment to spreading CBPT worldwide.

Becoming a CBPT Partner means joining a community that believes in the therapeutic powers of play as a vehicle for emotional regulation, learning, and well‑being. It means contributing to the creation of environments where children feel seen, understood, and supported, and where parents, teachers, and therapists can access concrete tools to guide them.

Our Shared Mission

The Pillars of CBPT Collaboration

CBPT Partners work with us to bring the CBPT model into diverse settings—clinical, educational, social, and cultural—while maintaining high training standards and fidelity to the core principles of the method. Our shared mission includes:

Promoting emotional well‑being for children and parents

Through interventions grounded in play, relationship, and therapeutic competence.

Spreading accessible knowledge

So families and professionals can understand and use the power of play in an informed way.

Building an international network

Where ideas, tools, and best practices can circulate freely.

Supporting ongoing professional development

By offering updated training, supervision, and innovative materials.

Who Can Become a CBPT Partner?

A Network Open to Diverse Organizations

The CBPT network welcomes organizations, private practices, training centers, schools, associations, and institutions that wish to integrate the CBPT model into their work. Partners share a common commitment to:

• placing the child at the center;

• using play as a therapeutic language;

• promoting evidence‑based cognitive‑behavioral therapy for children under 8;

• expanding access to resources for families and communities.

Tailored Partnerships

Each collaboration is designed to reflect the cultural, professional, and local characteristics of every partner, ensuring meaningful and sustainable integration.
