Trained by the people who shaped the method
The CBPT faculty brings together the pioneers of Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy and an international team of clinicians and researchers who teach the method as it is practiced. Each course is grounded in the same evidence-based framework and delivered by faculty who apply CBPT directly with children and families.
Our programs are developed under the scientific direction of Maria A. Geraci and Susan M. Knell, the pioneer of CBPT, ensuring fidelity to the model at every level of training. Learn more about the CBPT Research Center.
