Lessons From the Playroom Podcast!
In this episode (and most timely for Pride Month), Lisa welcomes Jennifer Shivey, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, and Approved Clinical Supervisor with a focus on supporting LGBTQ+ children and their families. Jennifer, who has personal experience as the mother of a transgender child, shares her journey and how it transformed her approach to creating safe and affirming play therapy spaces.
"I have known Jen for over a decade and have had the opportunity to observe her in various capacities, including presentations and leadership in supervision groups. Her unwavering commitment to fostering personal and professional development is truly exceptional. Particularly noteworthy is her exemplary leadership in supporting the needs of LGBTQ+ children. Having collaborated with Jen on multiple occasions, I can attest to her exceptional attention to detail and her ability to consistently deliver outstanding results. Jen's dedication to her work is both commendable and highly valuable."
"Jen is a graduate of the MA Counseling Program at Regis University where I have been a professor and clinical coordinator since 2005. Additionally, she completed our Certificate in Counseling Children and Adolescents (CCA) where I had her as a student. She was impressive then and is more impressive now as she is having a major impact on the field of child and adolescent mental health in Denver. Jen provides a caring and supportive atmosphere for her clients, clinicians, and interns at Realistic Serenity. We, at Regis, greatly value her and her agency as a clinical training partner and look forward to continue working with her for years to come."
