Virtual play therapy isn’t the future anymore… it’s already here.
But let’s be real for a second—
Most platforms weren’t built for play therapists.
They weren’t designed to engage children using play therapeutically.
For expressive play.
For the kind of symbolic, relational work you do every single day.
So what happens when a platform is built with play therapists in mind?
That’s exactly what we’re diving into in this special podcast episode with Brendan Herjavec, Chief Innovation Officer at PlaySpace.
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking…
→ How do I actually DO play therapy virtually?
→ How do I stay engaging and effective through a screen?
→ Is there a better way than trying to make traditional telehealth platforms “work”?
…this conversation is for you.
Because here’s the truth:
Virtual play therapy isn’t going away.
And when done well—it can be powerful, connected, and deeply therapeutic.
✨ In this episode, we’ll explore:
✓ What PlaySpace is and how it was designed specifically for play therapists
✓ How a virtual play therapy platform can support symbolic play, creativity, and engagement
✓ The biggest challenges play therapists face when working virtually—and how to overcome them
✓ How to maintain connection, attunement, and safety in an online playroom
✓ Why using the right tools can change how effective your sessions feel
We’re not just talking about “making do” with virtual therapy.
We’re talking about creating a playroom… just in a different dimension.
🎯 Whether you’re already doing virtual play therapy—or still unsure how it could even work—
this episode will give you a new lens (and maybe a little hope) for what’s possible.
Because the question isn’t if play therapy can happen online.
It’s how to do it in a way that actually works.
