The sandtray is a powerful tool to incorporate into a variety of therapeutic modalities. The sandtray provides a tangible, sensory experience to increase brain integration as clients explore their worlds, beliefs, traumas, and more.
Trainings through The Sandtray Corner explore ways to incorporate sandtray into therapy with teens and adults, with special emphases on working with trauma and with perinatal mental health.
Hi, I’m Leah Schwarz, LSCSW, LCSW, RPT
I was introduced to sandtray therapy in 2015 when I was an intern therapist, and have been using it ever since. I have almost 8 years of experience incorporating the sandtray into my practice with clients of all ages and have attended multiple trainings offered by different sandtray therapists. I love how the modality can complement a range of theories and styles. I have found that using the sandtray in sessions has truly helped clients understand themselves and their worlds in a different way and can help empower clients towards change.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Clinical Social Worker and Registered Play Therapist. I am trained in EMDR and specialize in working with perinatal mental health, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I have worked with clients of all ages, but have found my passion in working with teens and adults.
