OVERVIEW

 At Seeds of Hope, we provide therapies that are holistic or helpful for the mind, body and spirit.  Interventions focusing on the whole person have proven effective in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, low self-esteem, family relationship issues and other childhood disorders. Integrating both secular and Christian counseling techniques creates a solid foundation for personal growth and healing.

PLAY THERAPY

PLAYING ISN'T JUST FUN, IT IS ALSO VERY THERAPUTIC.
Play is the language children use to express their feelings, explore relationships and find self-fulfillment.  Just as adults use words to communicate, children use play.
BENEFITS OF PLAY THERAPY
 -Play builds trust and mastery.  
-Play fosters learning and acceptable behaviors.  
-Play regulates emotions and reduces anxieties.  
-Play promotes creative thinking and problem-solving.
  -Play encourages open communication while improving self-esteem.  
-PLAY IS THE LANGUAGE CHILDREN USE TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES.
With all of these benefits, it makes sense to use play in therapy for kids.  In fact, research suggests play therapy is an effective mental health approach for all ages and problems!
WHAT IS PLAY BASED THERAPY?
In play based therapy, play is purposeful! That means everything we say and do has meaning.  Play based therapy or CCPT (Child Centered Play Therapy) is also child-led.  It provides opportunities for us to build on the child's interests as they explore their environment in authentic ways.  It also allows us to meet the child on his/her developmental level.  Play based therapy is just plain fun!

SAND TRAY THERAPY

EVERY THERAPY ROOM AT SEEDS OF HOPE IS FILLED WITH LITTLE MINIATURE FIGURES TO BUILD IMAGINARY WORLDS!
 Disney characters, people, bridges, rocks, fish, animals and many other things are displayed for kids to use in their sand worlds.  Clients are encouraged to let their imaginations flow as they create worlds in the sand.  
SAND TRAY THERAPY  IS ACTUALLY A VERY DEEP KIND OF THERAPY
This process creates a bridge between the conscious and the unconscious.  The conscious mind relaxes its control, allowing penetration to the unconscious material lying beneath the surface.  This makes possible a completely new outlook on life.  Clients are able to heal wounds and move on from traumas. Psychological maturation occurs within the child as a result of sand tray therapy and the child does this all on his own.  Progress becomes evident in sand pictures.  Conflict turns into resolution as chaos becomes ordered.  This technique is based on the thought that all children have within them the ability to heal, to know what they need on their own.  This type of symbolic and creative play has been proven to enable healing for all ages!
