Sandplay has been empirically proven in the therapeutic field, as well as my own practice, to be an effective way to express and communicate through non-verbal and creative forms.  While many people associate sand play to child therapy, it can be used for any age group or population.  For children however, it is a helpful way to have them engage and access their already dynamic creative potential.  It's also helpful because their ability to communicate is vastly different then communication styles of adults.  Children can communicate very effectively, without much intention, through the use of symbolism in art.  Sandplay is art and their creation speaks volumes to what is happening inside and outside of themselves.

I was trained and certified by the Western Sand Play Associates as a Sandplay Practitioner.  This training is specific to Jungian psychoanalysis.  For those unfamiliar with Carl Jung, he was a psychiatrist that spent most of his life examining how the unconscious of the human is involved in impacting our conscious awareness and was keen in the understanding that it "communicated" through the use of symbols and archetypes.  Sandplay adopted his theories and have applied them to this therapy as a powerful tool to bring those inner symbols out through material objects and art. 

As mentioned, this can be used for any age group. It can be used as the primary therapy or in conjunction with individual therapy.
