WHY CHOOSE LISA FARHAT?
According to the Association for Play Therapy database, there are only five fully licensed Registered Play Therapists in Parker County.
As one of those five, I received specialized training and many hours of supervised experience to be able to provide the very best, developmentally appropriate care for children ages 3-12.
​
I have 25 years of experience working with children, teens and families.
​
TEN QUESTIONS TO ASK A POTENTIAL THERAPIST

​
2. Have you completed a graduate level course or any professional training in child development?
​
3. How many years of experience do you have counseling children?
​
4. Approximately how many child clients have you worked with?
​
5. What percentage of your caseload is dedicated to seeing child clients each week?
​
6. Do you have toys, games, art supplies, or other developmentally appropriate materials in your office?
​
7. Can you help my child if he/she doesn't talk during the session?
​
8. Are you trained in Filial Therapy? What approach/materials do you use to support and educate parents and caregivers?
​
9. What theoretical model to you align with, and how does this apply to your work with children?
​
10. How is therapy with a child different from and similar to therapy with an adult?
WHY CHOOSE PLAY THERAPY?
Therapy is an investment in the future of your family. I encourage you to "shop around" for a therapist, just as you would before making any other major time and financial commitment.
Partnering with a Registered Play Therapist means that you and your child will build a relationship with an expert in the field. Not all professionals that see children have earned the RPT or RPT-S credentials.
