Infant Mental Health
Infant Mental Health is a highly specialized area of therapy which provides support for parents for a variety of concerns that they may have for their infant ages 0-5 years. This unique, evidence-based intervention utilizes the parent as the key facilitator of change for their infant utilizing videos of parent-child interactions.
Play Therapy
Play therapy provides the opportunity for children to work through challenges and negative experiences utilizing their natural language of learning—play. This approach naturally follows the child’s developmental age and stage. The professionals at Sand Story are then able to harness the child’s natural developmental trajectory to tailor the therapy to each child’s needs.
Children
Children are each unique in their personalities, their way of expressing themselves and their view of the world. The child-focused and specially trained team at Sand Story pride ourselves on meeting each child at their level.
Teenagers
At times, parents may find that their adolescent is experiencing roadblocks in one or more of the following areas: depression, anxiety, mood-swings, past trauma, behaviour problems, parent-teen conflict and major life changes (e.g., death of a loved one or divorce).
Adults
Support for adults is provided from a belief in the importance of relationship and the natural healing potential that we all have within us. A variety of evidence based therapeutic modalities are offered for a wide variety of presenting concerns.
Couples
Couples often find themselves stuck in patterns which leave may partners feeling deeply misunderstood, leading to feelings of anger, loneliness, and rejection.
