What is Sand Tray Therapy?

Sand Tray Therapy is an expressive approach in which the client can create “their world” in a tray utilizing a variety of figurines and objects. In creating a world, the client is able to tell their story, verbally or nonverbally, in a safe environment. The conscious and unconscious material stored in the brain can be expressed and processed through the use of symbolic figurines. The therapists role is to act as a nonjudgmental witness to their world and provide a free and safe space to explore those unhealed memories.
