Our Unique Approach: Sand Tray Therapy
At VonOstir Innovation Services, P.L.L.C., we incorporate a transformative therapeutic technique known as Sand Tray Therapy. This expressive modality allows clients to externalize thoughts, feelings, and memories—both conscious and unconscious—by creating miniature “worlds” within a sand tray using 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 and innovative approach to counseling for teens. Adolescence is a time of rapid change, and our goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where teens can explore emotions, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies.


Our counseling integrates Intergative Approaches to therapy, including Play Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy, powerful techniques that help teens express themselves creatively and nonverbally. Through play and the construction of symbolic “worlds” in the sand tray, adolescents can process experiences, confront challenges, and gain insight into their thoughts and feelings—all while developing emotional regulation and problem-solving skills.


We focus on a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Anxiety, mood, and emotional regulation
  • Attention and impulsivity
  • School challenges and academic struggles
