Sand Tray/Play Therapy

Play helps children communicate.

Play is one of the best outlets around – especially for kids.

Children usually have a hard time communicating what’s going on inside of them.

Whether they’ve suffered trauma, abandonment, depression, anxiety, they’re on the spectrum, or are just having a hard time – kids need a safe and healing way to express themselves!

Play helps with the expression.

Enter Sand Play Therapy

Sand Play Therapy is a non-verbal way for your kiddos to share what is going on in their world using miniatures, figurines, and other objects on a blank slate of soft white sand.

If they struggle with fear, inability to trust, or don’t feel safe, play is a powerful way to help children.

It’s almost magical

Add EMDR therapy – and you’re golden. (Learn more about EMDR.)

EMDR aids as a follow-up to help children better work through and process their thoughts, emotions, bodily responses, and feelings that come up from the story that they’ve created in the sand.

In this way, kids are safe to express and re-create their world and feelings. Sand play helps them through the more challenging stuff.

As a result, they come out on the other side better for expressing themselves, setting themselves up for success now, as well as giving them healthy patterns of expression for years to come.

Sand Play benefits all kids.

Kids, outgoing or withdrawn alike, eagerly reach for the shelves of toys and figures in our office.

They soon can’t wait to come to therapy – because it’s fun! And they long to be understood.

The Power of Play + Specialized Therapy = Healing

Sand Play works!

Sand play is a great way for your child to learn how to express themselves and voice their feelings.

We would love to work with your child.
