Consultation and Training
Dr. Freedle is a passionate and skilled trainer who takes a personal interest in those who attend her trainings. Illuminating current theory, neuroscience, and the principles of depth psychology with compelling case studies and experiential learning, she is internationally recognized for her sandplay presentations.
Lorraine enjoys presenting workshops, teaching classes, and providing supervision and consultation services for therapists and psychologists. With over 35 years experience in clinical administration and psychotherapy, Dr. Freedle creates a safe and stimulating environment for clinical supervision. She holds her students in high regard and has mentored over 200 clinicians to independent licensure.
Lorraine provides personal process and case consultation to sandplay therapists, including those interested in becoming certified sandplay therapists and those conducting research in sandplay. Consultation may occur in-person or via Zoom.
Sandplay Case Consultation Groups
Joining a case consultation group can be a supportive, enriching, and meaningful way to connect with other sandplay therapists and to explore the depths of your work in the sand. Groups follow the ISST requirements; therefore, your supervision hours may be applied toward STA/ISST certification as a sandplay therapist. Typically, groups meet online (Zoom) monthly for 10 sessions. Each session is two hours. Each member presents their own case material twice and attends individual consultation with Lorraine prior to presenting to the group. I have prepared a detailed information page and application form:
