Today our guest is, Lacey Fisher, a licensed professional counselor, she specializes in perinatal mental health and uses sand therapy as an expressive art in her practice. Sand therapy is a projective mode of psychotherapy that allows clients to process their interpersonal issues using miniatures or figurines in a sand tray. It provides a nonverbal way of communicating and helps clients explore their unconscious thoughts and emotions. Sand therapy can be used with both children and adults and creates a therapeutic distance that makes it easier to share difficult experiences. Lacey also incorporates other expressive arts, such as drawing, to help clients process their grief and trauma.
