​Art and Sand Tray Therapy:
Art expression is a helpful therapeutic tool that includes numerous activities such as painting, coloring, drawing, sand-tray, crafting, clay, modeling, origami and other creative activities. When used in therapy, it enhances the client’s ability to communicate effectively and provides a safe way to channel and express feelings and emotions.

It helps the client reconcile emotional conflicts, regulate stress, decrease anxiety, improve focus/concentration and increase self-esteem and self regulation.
