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.

sand tray miniatures; one for children up to twelve years of age, and
one for adults. These two sets allows the client endless possibilities to
their counseling sessions.
Currently, The Creative Therapy Center offers traditional play sand and
colored play sand. The client can choose to use wet or dry sand.
