Art Therapy & Sandplay Therapy

Picture

"Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain."  C.G. Jung

Art Therapy

Art therapy supports and encourages self-exploration through creative expression. When we connect with our non-verbal creative self, we give voice to that which may have no words or can be difficult to verbalize. The creative self is a rich and vast resource which we all possess and can easily access. Art therapy can provide an avenue toward emotional and spiritual well-being by helping us to know ourselves more deeply and understand our complex inner workings from that non-verbal perspective. And, prior art experience is not necessary to benefit from art therapy! Anyone can access the non-verbal voice that resides within and art therapy offers a powerful, non-threatening way to explore and communicate those deepest parts of ourselves.

Sandplay therapy is a nonverbal, therapeutic intervention that uses a sand tray, toy figures, and sometimes water, to create scenes of miniature worlds that reflect a person’s inner thoughts, feelings, struggles, and concerns. It is a modality that can be utilized with children, adolescents, and adults and can be especially helpful for those individuals who have suffered trauma and may have difficulty expressing themselves verbally.

Janet uses this form of therapy on it's own or along with art therapy.

Both Sandplay therapy and art therapy give the individual an opportunity to create a tangible image of his/her inner world.  Janet then helps guide the individual through reflection and verbal processing to understand the connection between the world they have created in sand or art making and their own inner world.


Sessions are private and individual and last about 75 minutes. Basic art supplies are included, and there is no previous art experience needed. Just bring yourself! If you book online and don't see a time available that suits your schedule, please email Janet at janet@thelightclinic.org to schedule. She is also able to do Art Therapy over our HIPPA safe telehealth, so you can do it from the comfort of your own home! Just email her as well to set that up if you are interested.

Art therapy is a wonderful modality for children to adults. Ages 4 and up is recommended.


Book an Art Therapy Session
Janet has weekly availability at the clinic for Art Therapy sessions, which you can book online. She is also able to do Art Therapy via telehealth, so you can work with her from the comfort of your own home! If you are interested in a telehealth appointment, or need a time not listed on our online booking site, please email her and she'd be happy to work with you!  janet@thelightclinic.org

Here's what our patients have to say...

TOTAL HEALTH: "My overall health has improved so much since coming to The Light Clinic. It is so nice to have people who listen to your health needs and work with you to explore and treat your conditions. More and more I consider them my primary health care."
AMAZING, PROFESSIONAL & KIND: "This was my first experience at The Light Clinic and also meeting Joseph for the first time. I feel so utterly blessed to have found Joseph and his "healing hands". He was professional and knowledgeable, while being personable and gentle. He explained everything in detail, so my comfort level was at an all-time high. Thank you Joseph and thank you Light Clinic!"
GREAT OPTION FOR ALTERNATIVE HEALTHCARE: "Love the whole body approach at the Light Clinic! Have had several treatments and very pleased.You will enjoy the healing atmosphere and the personal attention you receive from these practitioners. "Discovered" them from rave reviews from our own patients. So glad we did! Thank you!"
ALWAYS THE BEST: "My time with Mary Frank Slaughter is always so comforting. I am assured of her expertise and loving care. She'll find things before my doctor does and it always surprises him when he tells me something and I tell him my CranioSacral Therapist told me the same thing. The entire staff is also like this. Do yourself a favor - go see them."
