Sandtray Therapy

Sand tray play is a powerful and effective intervention tool for children, teens, adults, and families in a variety of therapeutic settings.  Sand tray play utilizes a wide range of miniature figurines with which clients “build a world” in a tray of sand.  With the support and witness of a sand tray therapist, this process of story telling through images promotes a deepened expression, experience, and understanding of the client's inner world, and thus provides the opportunity for healing on a variety of levels. 

This is a way to express yourself in a protected way without too much threat to the regulation system. Sandtray facilitates the psyches natural way of healing in a "free and protected space". The client creates a concrete manifestation from his/her imagination using sand, water and miniatures.
