SAND THERAPY
A Path to Emotional Healing and Connection
Sand therapy, also known as sandplay therapy, provides a transformative space for healing and self-discovery. This therapeutic approach invites participants—children, teens, adults, and families—to explore the depths of their inner worlds. Using symbols and play, it enables expression beyond words, unlocking pathways to healing and growth.
Rooted in Carl Jung’s concept of the collective unconscious, sand therapy bridges the emotional and psychological realms. The sand tray becomes a microcosm of the psyche, offering a space to confront hidden challenges, discover inner truths, and awaken the authentic self.
At CLARITY, we are excited about the transformative power of sand therapy. Each playroom features two sand trays. We also provide four individual trays, with a large communal tray in the family space, and a mobile sand tray unit that can be brought into any of our talk therapy rooms. This flexibility ensures that sand therapy integrates seamlessly into diverse therapeutic approaches and meets each client’s unique needs.
