Child Therapists in Colbert, WA
Creating a safe space for children and witnessing the profound healing that any child can experience through the medium of therapeutic play is my passion, and I warmly encourage you to contact me to learn more or schedule an appointment.
Hello, my name is Benjamin Menard. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker beginning my private practice in Spokane. My specialty is non-directive play therapy for children ages 4 – 12 and talk therapy from ages 13 - and up. I use this client-centered approach with the theory that children use their play to communicate more effectively than language and typical talk therapy. I see play therapy as a way to meet children where they are and learn from them about their world.
