About
Our Vision: A world of happy kids
who become happy adults.
CCPT Mastery is a training and coaching pathway from The Hicks Group, LLC. Our work equips therapists to understand child-centered play therapy deeply and practice it faithfully.
Our mission: preserve and advance CCPT.
Our work is grounded in the child-centered play therapy model developed by Dr. Garry Landreth. We see ourselves as stewards of the model: preserving its theoretical foundations while making high-quality education and coaching more accessible.
Through teaching, books, podcasts, and professional community, we help therapists connect what the model believes with what they do in the playroom. Every therapist we equip extends that work to the children and families they serve.

At every level.
Brenna personally teaches every Foundations class and leads every Clinical and Expert cohort, bringing more than 20 years of CCPT experience to the pathway.
Brenna’s teaching connects the philosophy of child-centered play therapy with the moment-to-moment work of being in the playroom. Her coaching has helped therapists examine their responses, strengthen model fidelity, and communicate more clearly with parents.
CCPT Mastery brings that work into a structured pathway—from understanding the model to practicing it and reasoning within it.
