Equilibria Psychological and Consultation Services

Spotlight on Child Therapy Center of Excellence at Equilibria: Did you know that there is a group of child and teen therapists at our practice who regularly attend trainings on working with clients under age 18, spend time together consulting on clinical cases, and read books for discussion together? In an effort to support our continued learning, we are bringing in experts on various topics to provide Continuing Education presentations. See below to learn about the next CE we will be offering to our clinicians (and opening to the community, as well, for the first time!) If you're looking for a play therapist in Philadelphia, play therapist near Philadelphia, or a trauma informed child therapist in or near Philadelphia, call our referral coordinator at 267-861-3685 to learn about our current openings!
