At VonOstir Innovation Services, P.L.L.C., we use a transformative therapeutic technique called Sand Tray Therapy. This expressive modality lets clients externalize thoughts, feelings, and memories—conscious and unconscious—by creating miniature “worlds” in a sand tray with figurines and objects.
These constructed worlds serve as powerful metaphors, enabling clients to tell stories, process experiences, and explore emotions in a safe, nonverbal way. Through this creative process, individuals gain insight, foster emotional healing, and develop coping strategies that support long-term growth and resilience.

At VonOstir Innovation Services, P.L.L.C., we offer a transformative, innovative approach to teen counseling. Adolescence is a time of rapid change, emotional growth, and increasing life demands. Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where teens can explore emotions, build resilience, strengthen relationships, and develop healthy coping strategies that support long-term well-being.
Our counseling approach with adolescents integrates evidence-based and creative therapeutic approaches, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Play Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy. DBT helps adolescents develop practical skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, empowering them to manage intense emotions, navigate challenges, and make balanced decisions. Play Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy give teens opportunities to express themselves creatively and nonverbally, helping them process experiences, gain insight into thoughts and feelings, and build self-awareness in a developmentally responsive way.
Through these integrative approaches, adolescents learn to recognize emotions, tolerate distress, communicate more effectively, strengthen relationships, and develop effective problem-solving skills. We help teens build a life worth living by balancing acceptance of who they are today with meaningful growth toward their personal goals.

Through a personalized, integrative approach, we help adults build self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, process unresolved experiences, and build a life aligned with their values, goals, and overall well-being.
Our approach integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), expressive arts, play-based interventions, and Sand Tray Therapy. DBT helps adults develop practical skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, empowering them to navigate intense emotions, improve relationships, and respond effectively to life's stressors. EMDR is a research-supported therapy designed to help individuals process traumatic memories, reduce emotional distress, and strengthen adaptive beliefs, promoting healing and recovery from difficult life experiences.
For adults seeking nonverbal, experiential ways to process emotions, expressive arts, play-based interventions, and Sand Tray Therapy offer powerful opportunities to explore personal challenges, gain insight, and foster self-discovery. These creative approaches can help clients access and process experiences that may be difficult to express through words alone.

At VonOstir Innovation Services, P.L.L.C., our meditation and mindfulness practice uses the mind, breath, or body tto alter our state of consciousness deliberately
The best kind of meditation is the kind that we allow ourselves to practice consistently. When we commit to a practice, we may notice refined perception, the complex layers of our emotional design, and an expanded Window of Tolerance.
At its most fundamental level, meditation may be organized into 4 categories: present-moment awareness, calm focus, energized body, and mind, and self-discovery. In line with an interdisciplinary model, we acknowledge an array of techniques that aid us on our unique evolutionary path.
Meditation may lead us to a direct experience of transcendence. To "transcend" means to go beyond. Go beyond what? Thoughts, ego, intellect, and the 5 senses. We move from less thinking to more experience of being with greater ease. Integrating meditation practices with counseling offers incremental transformation, challenging our limiting beliefs and allowing us to step into our full potential effortlessly.
