Melonie Singleton, LCSW, RPT


Melonie Singleton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has served children and families for 8+ years. As a Registered Play Therapist (RPT), she has largely practiced from the Child-Centered Play Therapy model and continues to learn and grow as an integrative play therapist. Ongoing learning and practice in attachment-based models are the basis for Melonie’s approach to meeting clients’ unique needs. As a developing and learning therapist, Melonie noticed a need for more in-person Play Therapy workshops, particularly at the foundational level. She draws on her background in the school and community settings to create interactive and enjoyable learning experiences for professionals. A love for adventure, discovery and learning drive her to make pedagogy playful.

All live workshop refunds will be honored, less a $10 processing fee for cancellations received at least seven (7) days prior to the date of a live webinar or in-person workshop. For cancellation or credit requests with 6 days or less notice, a refund less a $55 processing fee may be refunded or credited to another workshop. For same day cancellations for workshops with a waiting list, no refund will be issued. Unfortunately, we cannot issue refunds for On-Demand (Asynchronous) webinars due to the fact that once purchased, the participant has access immediately to all materials.

Refunds will also not be issued due to technical limitations of the participant. We provide detailed instructions, and we are happy to assist in this area to a reasonable extent; however, we don’t have the staff to guide you through every step of the process.
