As we continue celebrating International Play Therapy Week, today we are diving into one of our favorite modalities: Sandtray Therapy. ✨

Have you ever felt like you didn't have the words to describe what was happening inside? That’s where the sandtray shines.

Why we use it:
Beyond Words: It allows children and adults to bypass "verbal defenses" and tap into the unconscious.
Symbolic Healing: By choosing miniatures and placing them in the sand, clients create a physical "world" that represents their inner experiences.
New Perspectives: Seeing your life, emotions, and challenges laid out in front of you helps you see things in a whole new light.

Sandtray is a dynamic, process-oriented way for clients of all ages to become more whole and aware. It’s not just about the sand—it’s about the transformation that happens within it. 🏖️🐚

🎨 It’s International Play Therapy Week!

Play therapy is often misunderstood as "just for children," but it is actually a profound way for clients of all ages to access healing. Through sandtrays, art, and the use of miniatures, clients can tap into their unconscious, projecting complex emotions onto tangible objects when words aren't enough.

This week, we’re spotlighting the modalities that help transform and heal our clients through the power of creative expression.

A huge thank you to the play therapists who hold space for curiosity every day. By integrating play into the healing process, you help others rediscover their joy, resilience, and authentic selves.

After nearly four years of being the first smiling face you see and the kindest voice you hear on the phone, Skylar is moving on to her next adventure.

Skylar didn’t just answer phones; she took a genuine interest in the lives of every client who walked through our doors. Whether she was assisting Lisa with trainings, assisting with billing, or providing vital support to our counseling team, she did it all with grace and a servant’s heart.

We aren't just saying goodbye to a colleague, but to a family. Skylar’s family has been a constant support at our events, and their presence will be deeply missed. Skylar, thank you for being the backbone of our front desk. We love you and your family, and we wish you nothing but the best!
