What is Sand Tray Therapy?
Sand Tray therapy allows the client to explore and express their feelings in
a “safe” manner. Sand Tray therapy assists the individual in discovering
deep and underlying issues as well as developing coping mechanisms
through the use of metaphor and symbolism. Sand Tray therapy is
excellent for children, adolescents, adults, families and couples. Sand Tray
therapy can access complex issues that standard talk therapy cannot. Sand
Tray therapy utilizes a container filled with sand and a variety of miniature
items. This allows the client to develop their own scene in the sand and
speak to the scene in a metaphor. This approach is non-threatening and
assists the client in identifying issues they are struggling with in their life.
