School counselors are master jugglers and must assume a variety of roles and tasks in order to be successful. Despite common misconceptions, Play Therapy is not for exclusive use with younger children. In fact, adolescents can also benefit from its unique properties. One integrated technique that could prove to be especially helpful with middle school students is Sand Tray used in conjunction with Solution Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC). Sand Tray and SFBC could help validate the feelings of students while also helping students set and achieve short-term goals, regardless if they are academic, social, or emotional.
