If you were in one of my consultation groups you would have likely heard me ask “Are you trained in Sandtray” a billion times.
Why? It is one of my hands down favorite modalities for young kids up through adults. AND it was one of the earliest play therapy modalities I was trained in.

Ahhh if you have never seen Mean Girls you need to head right over to Amazon, Netflix, or wherever you get your movies and hit play. This is definitely an iconic movie about what it is like to be a teen. Oh, AND for the 20th anniversary Mean Girls has re-launched with a new twist!
Okay - so what does Mean Girls have to do with teen therapy? Four Things Teens Are Actually Saying About Their Parents In Play Therapy And What To Do Next2/14/2024 
Therapy is a safe space where teens can talk about anything.
The things that make them frustrated, that new guy that ghosted them, their friend that is totally being a jerk, the teacher that ALWAYS gives pop quizzes and yes even parents! And I have had my share of parents that feel all sorts of ways about what their teen may or may not say about them in my office. And this fear? I totally get it! 
How often do you work with teens that are less than motivated?
Things in their everyday life seem monotonous and in some ways that’s really true! Same routine, same school day, same homework. And for teens and tweens it is easy to feel stuck. Like it’s going to be the same thing day after day with no end in sight. Why try? |
