The Benefits of Sand Tray Therapy

One innovative form of therapy provided by Forward Counseling is known as sand tray therapy. By presenting a client with a small tray of sand and a wide variety of figurines, a therapist can sit back and observe what the client chooses to create.

They grinned, put their hands together, nodded and put their heads together to find my paperwork.  “You are in the correct group, but if you want to try another one, go to that one——->” as they pointed to a nearby group of much cheerier people.
