Sandplay Therapy

Sand Play therapy is powerful therapeutic tool that supports the psyches natural tendency to heal itself, given the proper conditions. By utilizing sand, water, and miniature objects, individuals can create a scene/picture/story that allows healing without necessarily the use of words. It provides a medium of self-discovery through the use of symbolic images and creativity and allows individuals to tap into pre-verbal experiences and long forgotten memories of the conscious mind.

Children benefit from Sand play therapy in that it offers them a comfortable and developmentally appropriate form of expression. Children are able to express themselves without requiring the words to do so. Children can create worlds and stories that express their inner conflicts, difficulties and tensions. The process provides a safe and supportive atmosphere so that children can freely express themselves.
