The CPT is trained to facilitate groups and work with individuals in developmental settings such as schools, libraries, recreational facilities and similar growth and development oriented organizations. The CPT may also work in a mental health setting as an adjunct therapist in cooperation with a primary therapist. In clinical settings, the CPT works under the clinical supervision of an RPT or other qualified mental health professionals.

The certification corresponds to a specialty within a recognized occupation. For example, Oncology Nurse and Pediatric Nurse are specialties within the nursing field, so Certified Oncology Nurse and Certified Pediatric Nurse would be classified as specialty certifications.
