Your Instructor,

Hey there! I'm Bianca Kisselburg, MS, LPC-S, RPT-S, ICST-P, GTC

As the founder of the Playful Connections Sandtray Institute, I serve as a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, Certified Geek Therapist and Internationally Credentialed Sandtray Therapist - Provider. Our training emphasizes attachment theory, neuroscience, and both person-centered and experiential therapy with fantastical fandom flair.


My passion for working with children and families has always driven me to help enhance their lives. While I have experience as a therapist across all age groups, I have focused extensively on children, particularly those in foster care, neurodivergent, and with trauma.

Time and again, I have encountered therapists who express uncertainty about how to engage with children, especially those from more challenging backgrounds. My deepest aspiration is to equip fellow therapists with the tools and resources they need to feel confident and successful when working with these populations and beyond.
