262 | House-Tree-Person in CCPT: Why I Use It and How It Helps
Play Therapy Podcast: A Master-Class in Child-Centered Play Therapy
In this episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I answer a great question from Zoe in Texas about why I use the House-Tree-Person (HTP) and Kinetic Family Drawing assessments in my practice. I share how I was first introduced to HTP in graduate school and why I believe it aligns well with the child-centered play therapy (CCPT) model. While assessments aren't required for CCPT, I explain how these tools provide valuable insight in the first session, helping children ease into the playroom while also offering parents reassurance about the process—especially when early progress isn't immediately visible.
I also discuss how these assessments help therapists gain a clearer understanding of a child's emotional world, including themes of anxiety, self-esteem, power, and control. Plus, I highlight where therapists can find additional resources on implementing these assessments, including inside the CCPT Collective and upcoming CEU opportunities.

00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,180 it was an expectation that therapists listen to your podcast 47 00:01:32,430 --> 00:01:33,949 as we grow our play therapy skills, 48 00:01:33,989 --> 00:01:34,980 and I'm

learn CCPT in your internship 52 00:01:43,709 --> 00:01:46,050 and that whoever was supervising you at your 53 00:01:46,050 --> 00:01:48,379 site wanted you to listen to the podcast. 54 00:01:48,669 --> 00:01:48,889 I'm, 55 00:01:48,919 --> 00:01:51,900 I'm really encouraged by that and I'm so grateful for. 56 00:01:52,180 --> 00:01:56,410 The way that this podcast has been utilized in the educational arena, 57 00:01:56,529 --> 00:01:56,569 I, 58 00:01:56,650 --> 00:02:00,599 I'm getting more and more emails from people who are in grad school 59 00:02:00,849 --> 00:02:05,480 and they're being told about the podcast as part of their graduate work. 60 00:02:05,769 --> 00:02:06,589 That is so exciting. 61 00:02:06,650 --> 00:02:06,970 Oh my gosh, 62 00:02:07,010 --> 00:02:07,809 let me tell y'all a story. 63 00:02:07,849 --> 00:02:08,800 This blew me away. 64 00:02:09,258 --> 00:02:10,399 So I have 65 00:02:11,130 --> 00:02:11,800 at my center, 66 00:02:11,889 --> 00:02:14,279 I've had interns from the University of South Florida. 67 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,979 And then I also had a student who was on summer break, 68 00:02:18,190 --> 00:02:19,259 who attended Auburn, 69 00:02:19,470 --> 00:02:21,910 who wanted to kind of do like a shadowing 70 00:02:21,910 --> 00:02:24,820 over the summer volunteer work kind of scenario. 71 00:02:25,070 --> 00:02:27,389 So she spent all summer when she was home from Auburn 72 00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:30,139 coming in and just helping around the office. 73 00:02:30,789 --> 00:02:32,699 She fell in love with therapy. 74 00:02:32,990 --> 00:02:34,029 She was a psych major, 75 00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:37,139 did not know what she wanted to do with her professional life, 76 00:02:37,630 --> 00:02:41,070 and decided that she wanted to become a therapist after being at the center, 77 00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:42,350 which I was so happy about. 78 00:02:43,119 --> 00:02:45,639 She asked me to give her some reference letters, 79 00:02:45,850 --> 00:02:47,160 so she applied to, 80 00:02:47,190 --> 00:02:47,610 oh my gosh, 81 00:02:47,690 --> 00:02:49,009 like 12 grad schools. 82 00:02:49,089 --> 00:02:49,380 I was like, 83 00:02:49,490 --> 00:02:50,330 is this how it works now? 84 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:50,679 Like, 85 00:02:50,770 --> 00:02:51,610 I applied to one. 86 00:02:51,649 --> 00:02:52,570 I don't understand. 87 00:02:52,690 --> 00:02:53,360 But anyway, 88 00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:55,880 so she applied to a whole bunch of, 89 00:02:56,089 --> 00:02:56,600 of 90 00:02:56,809 --> 00:02:59,020 universities and I sent out her, 91 00:02:59,210 --> 00:02:59,449 you know, 92 00:02:59,809 --> 00:03:00,449 recommendation letter, 93 00:03:00,529 --> 00:03:01,160 all of them. 94 00:03:01,690 --> 00:03:03,919 She sends me a text and says, 95 00:03:04,210 --> 00:03:04,570 Brenna, 96 00:03:04,690 --> 00:03:09,080 I just got off of an interview with one of the grad schools 97 00:03:09,449 --> 00:03:10,270 and 98 00:03:11,339 --> 00:03:13,520 They saw that I did my, 99 00:03:13,770 --> 00:03:16,279 my volunteer hours at your center, 100 00:03:16,529 --> 00:03:18,520 and the first question they asked me 101 00:03:18,729 --> 00:03:19,080 was, 102 00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:21,330 we saw that you were at The Kid Counselor Center. 103 00:03:21,369 --> 00:03:23,429 Do you by any chance know Brenna Hicks? 104 00:03:23,570 --> 00:03:24,320 And she was like, 105 00:03:24,649 --> 00:03:24,869 yeah, 106 00:03:25,089 --> 00:03:25,880 she was like, 107 00:03:26,009 --> 00:03:27,850 she was in charge and she was my mentor and 108 00:03:27,850 --> 00:03:30,399 like we did staff together and we talked all the time 109 00:03:30,570 --> 00:03:31,160 and they were like, 110 00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:31,649 oh my gosh, 111 00:03:31,729 --> 00:03:34,119 we listen to her podcast all the time and I'm like, 112 00:03:34,449 --> 00:03:35,610 what in the world? 113 00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:36,619 So, 114 00:03:36,910 --> 00:03:39,589 I'm telling you to say I feel like 115 00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:41,270 what we've been hoping for, 116 00:03:41,309 --> 00:03:42,509 what we've been praying for, 117 00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:43,970 what we've been banking on 118 00:03:44,229 --> 00:03:45,899 for these last couple of years 119 00:03:46,350 --> 00:03:49,000 is that I think maybe finally 120 00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:52,699 universities are starting to see the value of play therapy 121 00:03:52,990 --> 00:03:55,710 and they're starting to provide their students with resources 122 00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:59,990 for teaching them CCPT while they're still getting their coursework. 123 00:04:00,460 --> 00:04:02,880 And in their internship and in their practica 124 00:04:03,169 --> 00:04:06,080 and this is what all of us that graduated a while ago 125 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,009 have sorely missed out on and so many of us say, 126 00:04:09,089 --> 00:04:09,589 oh my gosh, 127 00:04:09,610 --> 00:04:11,369 I wish I would have known about this in grad school. 128 00:04:11,449 --> 00:04:13,600 I wish I would have been taught about this in grad school. 129 00:04:13,770 --> 00:04:15,169 I wish I would have been exposed to this. 130 00:04:15,179 --> 00:04:15,279 Well, 131 00:04:15,389 --> 00:04:15,919 I think, 132 00:04:15,970 --> 00:04:16,798 lo and behold, 133 00:04:17,170 --> 00:04:17,880 that it's happening. 134 00:04:18,010 --> 00:04:18,410 So, 135 00:04:18,850 --> 00:04:20,190 Zoe and 136 00:04:20,649 --> 00:04:24,839 all the other of you that are listening to me as part of graduate coursework, 137 00:04:25,010 --> 00:04:26,049 I'm so happy about that. 138 00:04:26,660 --> 00:04:26,989 OK, 139 00:04:27,149 --> 00:04:28,079 back to the question. 140 00:04:28,309 --> 00:04:29,470 I took a little side turn, 141 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,500 but we're back on track. 142 00:04:30,869 --> 00:04:33,459 What made you choose the house tree person assessment 143 00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:36,750 as well as the kinetic family drawing as your assessment tools? 144 00:04:37,859 --> 00:04:39,079 I would love to share that with you. 145 00:04:39,220 --> 00:04:39,559 First of all, 146 00:04:39,660 --> 00:04:41,950 I was trained in house, tree, person in grad school. 147 00:04:42,929 --> 00:04:44,690 Not to work with children specifically, 148 00:04:44,809 --> 00:04:45,170 but 149 00:04:45,450 --> 00:04:46,359 in our, 150 00:04:46,970 --> 00:04:48,160 I don't even remember what the course was, 151 00:04:48,250 --> 00:04:50,660 but it was essentially psychological assessment. 152 00:04:51,690 --> 00:04:53,519 We talked about 153 00:04:54,019 --> 00:05:00,059 non-clinical assessment tools and people had to present on different options and 154 00:05:00,059 --> 00:05:02,619 house, tree, person was one of the ones that was presented on. 155 00:05:02,660 --> 00:05:03,019 So 156 00:05:03,299 --> 00:05:04,989 I was exposed to it very early on, 157 00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:05,299 gosh, 158 00:05:05,390 --> 00:05:06,690 back in like '04, 159 00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:10,959 and I just fell in love with it and I chose it because 160 00:05:11,260 --> 00:05:13,649 I think that it aligns with CCPT 161 00:05:13,899 --> 00:05:15,630 as much as an assessment can. 162 00:05:16,140 --> 00:05:18,970 And I know that you do not have to do any kind of assessment 163 00:05:19,179 --> 00:05:20,450 to provide CCPT. 164 00:05:20,579 --> 00:05:20,899 So, 165 00:05:21,230 --> 00:05:22,510 That that's not why I do it. 166 00:05:22,589 --> 00:05:25,260 I don't do it because I can't do my job without it. 167 00:05:25,390 --> 00:05:27,820 I don't do it because it provides so much insight and, 168 00:05:27,829 --> 00:05:28,029 you know, 169 00:05:28,190 --> 00:05:28,579 I just, 170 00:05:28,630 --> 00:05:30,679 I'm blown away by everything I gain from it. 171 00:05:30,829 --> 00:05:32,059 Although often I am like, 172 00:05:32,070 --> 00:05:32,390 wow, 173 00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:34,420 I know exactly what's going on with this kid. 174 00:05:34,910 --> 00:05:35,359 But 175 00:05:35,910 --> 00:05:37,489 It's really a tool 176 00:05:37,660 --> 00:05:40,070 to get a Polaroid snapshot 177 00:05:40,329 --> 00:05:41,739 of what's going on week one. 178 00:05:43,029 --> 00:05:43,779 However, 179 00:05:44,109 --> 00:05:46,649 a child that comes into a playroom for the first time, 180 00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:48,820 let's talk about what Landreth has said. 181 00:05:49,779 --> 00:05:51,220 We cannot forget 182 00:05:51,510 --> 00:05:52,500 the fact that 183 00:05:52,670 --> 00:05:57,290 a child is being asked to go into a strange place with a strange person 184 00:05:57,549 --> 00:05:58,820 into a strange room 185 00:05:59,140 --> 00:05:59,980 for an hour, 186 00:06:00,549 --> 00:06:04,230 and that feels very awkward and scary and uncomfortable for a lot of kids. 187 00:06:05,609 --> 00:06:07,010 So there's no relationship, 188 00:06:07,059 --> 00:06:08,019 there's no structure, 189 00:06:08,179 --> 00:06:09,690 there's no familiarity, 190 00:06:09,899 --> 00:06:12,339 and they're supposed to just leave the comfort of their family, 191 00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:15,089 go back to this strange place with this strange person, 192 00:06:15,420 --> 00:06:16,410 and then be told, 193 00:06:16,660 --> 00:06:18,690 you can play with all the toys in most of the ways that you like, 194 00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:19,329 and they're like, 195 00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:20,899 what in the world is this? 196 00:06:21,869 --> 00:06:23,880 So I found that week one, 197 00:06:24,359 --> 00:06:26,390 when there's a little bit of quote, 198 00:06:26,410 --> 00:06:27,470 get to know you. 199 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,220 It provides ease for kids. 200 00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:33,769 They like quote, 201 00:06:33,790 --> 00:06:35,250 getting to know you 202 00:06:35,619 --> 00:06:38,089 and not having to dive in to play right away. 203 00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:40,859 Most kids don't mind drawing or coloring. 204 00:06:41,559 --> 00:06:43,940 And most kids feel comfortable 205 00:06:44,309 --> 00:06:47,059 sitting and answering questions and drawing. 206 00:06:47,829 --> 00:06:52,839 So it serves a lot of purposes for me and I would not do an assessment period 207 00:06:53,250 --> 00:06:55,970 if I did not have house tree person kinetic family drawing. 208 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,600 Here's a related aside. 209 00:06:59,489 --> 00:07:01,779 It's far more for the parents than it is for me. 210 00:07:02,850 --> 00:07:04,570 I have only ever been private pay. 211 00:07:04,649 --> 00:07:06,450 I have only ever been private practice. 212 00:07:07,589 --> 00:07:09,540 Parents really appreciate 213 00:07:09,829 --> 00:07:10,649 the insight 214 00:07:10,829 --> 00:07:15,070 that I gain from the house tree person drawings in the 1st 5 weeks. 215 00:07:15,910 --> 00:07:17,010 And here's what you need to know. 216 00:07:17,119 --> 00:07:18,839 Most of the time in the 1st 5 weeks, 217 00:07:18,859 --> 00:07:20,519 they've seen no change, 218 00:07:20,859 --> 00:07:22,850 and or they've seen things get worse. 219 00:07:24,489 --> 00:07:28,540 So to help them feel that there is something to be hopeful for, 220 00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:30,859 there is transformation taking place. 221 00:07:31,309 --> 00:07:32,980 There is something happening because, 222 00:07:33,029 --> 00:07:33,200 you know, 223 00:07:33,429 --> 00:07:34,079 5 weeks in, 224 00:07:34,149 --> 00:07:36,019 you see no change or things get worse, 225 00:07:36,149 --> 00:07:38,290 and it's really easy for a parent to go, 226 00:07:38,750 --> 00:07:38,910 Well, 227 00:07:38,970 --> 00:07:40,790 what do you expect when you just send your kid 228 00:07:40,790 --> 00:07:42,540 into play and you think that's gonna do something? 229 00:07:43,359 --> 00:07:43,369 Hm. 230 00:07:44,549 --> 00:07:44,630 Well, 231 00:07:44,709 --> 00:07:45,730 when you can say, 232 00:07:46,230 --> 00:07:46,410 well, 233 00:07:46,470 --> 00:07:48,630 based on the house drawing and the questions that 234 00:07:48,630 --> 00:07:50,299 were asked and the answers that were given. 235 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:51,130 You know, 236 00:07:51,209 --> 00:07:52,959 there's pretty high levels of anxiety 237 00:07:53,489 --> 00:07:53,880 and 238 00:07:54,089 --> 00:07:55,279 there's perfectionism, 239 00:07:55,850 --> 00:07:57,880 and according to the tree, 240 00:07:58,250 --> 00:07:58,450 you know, 241 00:07:58,649 --> 00:08:00,730 she doesn't really feel equipped to withstand 242 00:08:00,730 --> 00:08:02,839 what's going on environmentally like she, 243 00:08:03,049 --> 00:08:04,250 she buckles under pressure, 244 00:08:04,329 --> 00:08:06,679 so there's not a whole lot of frustration tolerance, 245 00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:07,559 and 246 00:08:07,850 --> 00:08:11,200 she's likely struggling with some self-esteem stuff based on her, 247 00:08:11,410 --> 00:08:11,980 on her 248 00:08:12,170 --> 00:08:12,890 person drawing. 249 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:14,820 Now all of a sudden, 250 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:15,730 a parent goes, 251 00:08:16,019 --> 00:08:16,369 wow, 252 00:08:16,679 --> 00:08:17,070 OK, 253 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,440 so you do have an idea of what's going on and 254 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,290 you do have an awareness of what needs to be addressed and 255 00:08:23,190 --> 00:08:26,420 It gives parents hope and confidence in the process. 256 00:08:27,429 --> 00:08:27,899 So 257 00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:29,390 for lots of reasons, 258 00:08:29,429 --> 00:08:31,779 I love house, tree, person and kinetic family drawing. 259 00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:34,270 It soothes kids' fears and anxieties. 260 00:08:34,390 --> 00:08:37,260 It makes the first session a little bit more comfortable for them. 261 00:08:37,549 --> 00:08:39,950 It makes parents feel a lot better in the 1st 5 262 00:08:39,950 --> 00:08:42,710 weeks and it gives you some perspective on what's going on. 263 00:08:42,789 --> 00:08:42,989 I mean, 264 00:08:43,070 --> 00:08:45,099 that kid's a stranger to you when they walk in, 265 00:08:45,349 --> 00:08:47,809 but after that first session and they've done some drawings, 266 00:08:48,390 --> 00:08:48,590 you, 267 00:08:48,669 --> 00:08:50,859 you have your finger on the pulse of what's going on. 268 00:08:51,309 --> 00:08:51,640 OK, 269 00:08:51,830 --> 00:08:52,309 so. 270 00:08:52,719 --> 00:08:53,849 Inferiority, 271 00:08:53,979 --> 00:08:54,679 self-esteem, 272 00:08:54,780 --> 00:08:55,609 anxiety, 273 00:08:55,820 --> 00:08:56,809 power and control, 274 00:08:56,940 --> 00:08:57,859 people pleasing, 275 00:08:58,059 --> 00:08:58,619 whatever you, 276 00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:00,330 you have a pretty good handle 277 00:09:00,580 --> 00:09:01,929 on what that looks like for them. 278 00:09:02,539 --> 00:09:04,219 So that is why I love it. 279 00:09:04,299 --> 00:09:06,489 I have literally been doing it for 20 years. 280 00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:09,130 I started out my very first kid ever 281 00:09:09,419 --> 00:09:10,859 and I've continued ever since. 282 00:09:10,940 --> 00:09:12,460 I have always done house, tree, person 283 00:09:12,859 --> 00:09:13,630 family drawing 284 00:09:13,979 --> 00:09:16,130 with every kid that I've worked with 285 00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:17,359 and 286 00:09:17,820 --> 00:09:18,260 it's just, 287 00:09:18,299 --> 00:09:20,349 it's fascinating the information that you get. 288 00:09:20,669 --> 00:09:22,580 And then Zoe's second question was, 289 00:09:22,659 --> 00:09:24,340 are there any resources where I could learn 290 00:09:24,340 --> 00:09:27,500 more about the implementation of these assessments? 291 00:09:28,179 --> 00:09:29,270 So in the Collective, 292 00:09:29,359 --> 00:09:31,330 if you join the CCPT Collective, 293 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,270 there are all kinds of

drawing with a child. 296 00:09:41,890 --> 00:09:42,760 And 297 00:09:42,890 --> 00:09:46,650 there are some resources in that Collective section 298 00:09:46,969 --> 00:09:47,929 for house tree person. 299 00:09:48,010 --> 00:09:51,159 I also talk extensively about it in the coaching programs, 300 00:09:51,450 --> 00:09:51,890 so yes, 301 00:09:51,969 --> 00:09:55,200 there are all kinds of resources and just stay tuned 302 00:09:55,650 --> 00:09:58,489 because we are working on a house tree person 303 00:09:58,849 --> 00:09:59,130 family. 304 00:09:59,284 --> 00:10:01,405 Drawing CEU
