This foundational training is for therapists who are beginning to immerse in the world of Sand Tray! Discover the theory behind this incredible modality to use it in your Play Therapy practice with clients of all ages. You will explore the symbolic representation of your clients’ needs, including personal experiences of creating your own sand tray in this training.  During this Play Therapy workshop, you will learn the key concepts and deepen your understanding of your clients and watch the magic of the therapeutic powers of play transform and heal. We will have discussions related to best practice, ethics, integration of theory and self-exploration as a therapist providing this transformative therapeutic experience.
