What is Sandtray Therapy?

Sandtray Therapy is a form of expressive therapy for clients to create and process their work in therapy. A simple offering of a box filled with sand and miniature items sets the stage for the client to create with their imagination. This exploration is performed under the guidance of a therapist who gently probes the client with questions and scenarios.

​

More than just soothing to the touch, the sand in sand therapy allows for creativity to be explored in a safe and judgment-free room. Ideal for giving a voice to those silenced by grief and trauma, sand therapy can create positive engagements with individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences. This is an ideal process for creating, exploring, and learning more about who we are and why we think the way that we think.

​

When working with Macy Gardipee, MA, LPC of Recover & Rebuild Counseling, clients will be guided through a gentle process that allows for a deeper exploration into their insights and interactions with others. This is an ideal process for gently engaging in areas that might otherwise have been stymied by trauma.
