How The Sandbox Works
Get Started
Signing up is easy. Complete a short web-based form so we know what specific skills or concepts you would like to focus on before the first session. Not sure? Don’t worry! We provide some categories for you to choose from. You will also have access to a calendar where you can pick the time(s) you would like to meet virtually.
Our SessionS
This is where the guided exploration happens! Based on your input on the initial form and the first introductory session, we design a sequence of interactive workshops, full of specific and practical tools and skills that resonate with your objectives. You will meet 1:1 with a facilitator to learn and apply new skills you can integrate into your day-to-day life.
SubscriBE
You have 5, 20-minute mini-individualized workshops to use during a one month period. All sessions are held virtually and can be scheduled online. This is a month to month subscription service and no commitment is required. You can continue the following month (5 more sessions) or take a break. If you take a break, you are welcome back provided availability. We are only taking 15 clients per month, so space is limited.

Why isn’t this therapy?
Research shows that optimal therapy is 45-60 minutes. Our sessions are shorter with goal-oriented skill building as the focus.
We are not doing a deep-dive into past or present emotional states, any cognitive restructuring, or trauma processing. You are welcome to bring all parts of you and they will be welcome here – however we will not be unpacking these elements with you.
The skills learned can have therapeutic benefits, but this is not therapy.
We consider this something supplemental and adjunct to therapy or a stand-alone opportunity.
