Play Therapy for Children
Play therapy refers to a large number of treatment methods, all of which make use of one or more of the natural benefits of play. Play allows children a safe psychological distance from their problems and allows them to express their true thoughts and feelings in ways best suited to their developmental level. Play therapy allows trained play therapists to assess and understand children's play and to use it in assisting the child in coping with difficult emotions and in finding solutions to their problems. Play therapy is best suited for children between the ages of 3 - 12.

Sand Tray Therapy for Children, Teens, Adults, Couples and Families:
Sandplay is a valuable medium for expressing emotional issues that are not verbalized. Through the creation of sandtrays, individuals can delve deeper into what is troubling them and facilitate change in the process. The sand not only provides a playful, non-threatening environment to bring about connections and self-examination, but also has proven to be a beneficial medium for adults, couples, teens and children.
Many adults and adolescents are less open to talk therapies and are eager to participate in the empowering creation of a sand tray. The therapist acts as a guide to facilitate the process. Most people, especially children, delight in sandplay, as they are given the freedom to create and tell stories in a safe environment.
Sand Tray Therapy is available as both single sessions and series of sessions.
