Sandtray Therapy

Sand tray therapy provides a bridge between an individual’s unique inner reality and the reality of the outer world. It provides a bridge between the unconscious and the conscious aspects of the mind, a bridge into the world of feelings, creating, and centering the self on a journey to the inner world.
