If you have an Ipad, virtual sandtray therapy could be an option for you!
Sandtray therapy is an experiential modality is effective for children 6+. The sandtray becomes the playroom in which we can explore our thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
What does a session look like?
Either in-person or virtually you will be able to create your own sandtray during a 50min session while we chat and explore it together. The amazing thing about the virtual sandtray is the ability to add elements that aren't available to a regular sandtray such as snow.
How does Sandtray help?
The experience of creating and playing within the world is the therapeutic change unfolding. This play aids in addressing the underlying issues that a child may be facing. Children often don't have the language to verbalize what is happening, but they can show me through Sandtray. A client creates a world- this could be any world or a target that we are addressing within therapy. The client spends the session creating and playing in the world they created. I am also able to address things therapeutically after being able to see what the client is experiencing. This also helps to provide context to parents and to be able to provide clarity on the situation.
