The need for change is often brought to our attention through painful or uncomfortable feelings, a sense of being disconnected, or a general feeling that something is missing from our life. But change can sometimes seem as scary or painful as continuing on as we are. Making positive changes in your life can take many forms. Choosing a path that includes a supportive environment can help you envision change as more than just daunting, but also as empowering, exhilarating, and more!
The therapeutic environment provides a non-judgmental space in which to explore your feelings and thoughts and practice new behaviors. You can use this space and the relationship with your counselor to explore your options, increase your awareness of your beliefs and values, and discover for yourself what is best for you in your circumstances.

Sandtray-Worldplay is an expressive, dynamic therapy that allows you to approach and communicate your feelings and experiences in a non-verbal, three-dimensional way.
This technique provides you with a tangible method for expressing yourself that goes beyond words.
It involves the creation of a world in a tray of sand by moving and forming the sand and/or arranging images in the sand.
You are encouraged to arrange the sand and images in whatever way feels right.
You can talk or remain quiet as you build your world.
