Having the sand tray materials to use for play therapy will allow the students to express what is troubling them when they do not have the verbal language to express their thoughts and feelings. The positive relationship that develops between the school counselor and the student during play therapy sessions can provide a corrective emotional experience necessary for healing. Play therapy has also been used to promote cognitive development and provide insight about and resolution of inner conflicts or dysfunctional thinking in the child. My school's demographic consists of low-socioeconomic families. The students have limited access to mental health care, which has been a barrier to their academic and social-emotional success. As a elementary school counselor I can provide the students with solution-focused therapy while continuously building a trust relationship with them, which will help them form goals for success.
