About Us Trusted Results Therapy Group is a growing mental health practice dedicated to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals and families. We provide therapeutic services across South Carolina, with a focus on quality care, collaboration, and clinical growth.

Position Overview We are seeking a Registered Play Therapist (RPT) or play therapy-trained clinician to join our team in a dedicated child and family role. This position is built for a therapist whose clinical identity centers on play therapy — someone who is credentialed or actively pursuing RPT designation and who is passionate about serving young children ages 1–13.

  • Provide parent and caregiver consultation and family sessions to reinforce therapeutic progress
  • Conduct developmental and clinical assessments and create individualized treatment plans

  • Collaborate with schools, pediatricians, and community providers as part of a whole-child care approach
  • Participate in supervision (if applicable), team meetings, and continuing education

Requirements

  • Master's or Doctoral degree in Counseling, Social Work, Psychology, or a related field
  • Active licensure in South Carolina (LPC, LMFT, LISW-CP, LMSW, LPC-A, or LP)
  • RPT credential or active pursuit of RPT designation through the Association for Play Therapy
  • Demonstrated experience providing play therapy to children ages 1–13
  • Commitment to a full-time equivalent caseload with a child-focused population
  • Strong clinical documentation skills
