Is there a struggle just to complete a morning routine? Are you tired of repeating yourself? Do you want your child to be more independent and responsive to expectations? Do you struggle to connect with your child or family? Maybe you complete tasks really well but feel lonely in it all. I've been there, I too am a parent and I know the struggles. I also know that if you're here you might want some help because you've read the books, listened to the podcasts, and are still not at peace. I don't have a magic wand but I can help.

Are you struggling with your infant or young child's mood or behaviors? Are they having a tough time adjusting to changes in their home or life? Have they experienced something that has changed their mood or behaviors? Toddlers and young children can have difficulty expressing themselves and need help to learn how. They may also struggle with learning how to adjust and cope with changes in their home, daycare, or school environments. Play therapy is a natural and great way for children to express themselves and learn new skills. Working with them at their level of understanding fosters understanding and healing.

Sandplay Therapists

What problems are best treated with sandplay therapy?

Research has examined this therapy’s utility in young people and found positive results. It has been shown to be useful for those who suffer from autism, attention deficit disorder, anxiety, and or aggressive behavior. Children who have suffered abuse, neglect, or trauma have also seen improvement through this therapy. Abused children are often fearful and anxious about their safety, making verbal communication more difficult.

Is sandplay therapy suitable for children and teenagers?

Children and adolescents are good candidates for sandplay therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts, let alone the emotions they are experiencing. Through this play therapy, they will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Is sandplay suitable for adults?

This type of therapy can be useful for adults who have difficulties expressing themselves. People who have suffered neurological changes after a brain injury or because of a traumatic event might be good candidates for this therapy. In fact, anything that has had an effect on the brain, such as substance abuse, can make non-verbal sandplay a valuable option.

Does sandplay therapy work?

There have been studies on the effectiveness of sandplay therapy, and it appears to improve difficult behaviors in children. It may also enhance self-esteem and lessen feelings of physical anxiety as well as hypersensitivity. This type of therapy is based on non-verbal communication and may feel less threatening to the individual.
