Virtual Sandtray

 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.

Money a barrier to therapy?

I offer a sliding scale- As a therapist, I want to help those who cannot afford traditional therapy fees, and so I enrolled with Open Path. I am thrilled to help people in this manner. One of the biggest barriers to mental health treatment is affordability for those who don't have insurance. My standard rate is $125 per hour (which is on the low end for Colorado).  How does the sliding scale work? With Open Path, clients receive a 30% to 60% discount, depending on the fee they choose that works within their budget. I let clients pick their fee in the $40 to $70 range. I don't get involved in making them prove their income or anything like that. Most people are at $45 or $50, though people have picked $70 or $40.  How and when do you direct clients to Open Path? When I get a prospective client who is asking about my sliding scale, I send them to Open Path. I explain how Open Path works, that they will have to pay the initial $65 fee to keep the website going, but that they will...
