Do you know a Shining Star in the Minnesota Play Therapy Community?

Do you know a Minnesota Play Therapist that displays excellence within the Minnesota play therapy community? A Play Therapist who always has a great resource, is educating your agency about the powers of play, and always has a creative approach?  Maybe you know someone who excels at meeting children where they are at and holds space for healing with the powers of play! Or someone who always has sand on his or her floor, has the best ideas for new toys or miniatures, and is constantly recommending you read a new book or blog?
