Please know that my caseload and waitlist is currently full and unfortunately I am not accepting new clients right now. I operate my own private practice and specialize in working with teens, adults, and families by helping parents with their children, and helping adults work through their trauma. Through the use of attachment based, trauma-informed therapy, we will work hard together to address the issues and difficulties that you or your child might be experiencing.

Ally to ALL. Sometimes people feel alone and life can present challenges that make it lonely and difficult to focus on what you really want and where to go next. I’d be honored to sit with you, hear your story and learn about what you want to accomplish in therapy.

You are ready for more-fulfilling relationships and a rewarding life; you're ready for change. If you are looking for a caring, private and confidential environment where you can identify and explore the topics that may be getting in the way of what you want, we might be a great match for one another to complete your therapeutic services. Together, we can begin developing insight and the tools you need to implement life changes and achieve your goals using methods proven to work, called evidence-based practices. While I am not accepting new clients, the clinicians in my practice have openings!

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. 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.

Are you experiencing anxiety? Have you or your child gone through a traumatic event or experienced a major loss? Are you having trouble maintaining a healthy relationship? Do you struggle from low self-esteem and/or low self-confidence? I practice client centered strengths based approaches that teach the client skills to successfully become their own therapist for the times they face barriers in their life.

Every individual has their own story to tell, and I want to listen. The role of addiction often plays a significant part in the lives of many people whether in the form of substances food, porn/sex, etc. There is a great deal of cross over between how addictions can be managed and how addictive (yet harmful/unhelpful) thought processes and/or habits can be managed. I want to assist people in identifying their core values, whether their thought patterns are based in reality or perceptions/assumptions, and in obtaining more balance and peace between the roles they fill in their life.

Change is inevitable and life is unpredictable- two guaranteed discomforts in life. Whether caused by unexpected and unforeseen circumstances or recurring throughout your life, such great discomfort can be trying on anyone’s well-being. Hardships and traumas do not discriminate and can affect all humans, causing us distress within our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual parts. I believe therapy is a place to heal our wounds; to learn how to cope with life stressors and find ways to self-soothe; and to have a non-judgmental space held by someone who can provide safety and security. You do not have to do this alone.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY: Carl Rogers once said, “It is only when I accept myself exactly as I am that I begin to change.” For twelve years I've helped individuals work through anxiety, depression, relationship stress and the “normal” transitions of life. I help my clients stop fighting their emotions and accept the job they have to do. I help peel away beliefs like, “I’m not enough, I can’t do it.” I help rebuild strong internal foundations that tend to mental health, relationships and engagement with the world. With individuals, I specialize in treating workplace traumatic stress for healthcare providers.

With over fifteen years of experience, you know that you are working with someone that is competent, and knowledgeable. With extensive training in Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), you will receive evidence based care which provide better outcomes.

Accepting New Clients! Reframing the way you think can be a life long process. My goal is help you change the way you look at yourself, life, goals, and even counseling. I take a more down to earth approach, and do my best to help relate therapeutic subject matter to a topic you can understand. I work to build a therapeutic alliance with you in order to meet your mental health needs and give you the tools necessary to improve your life. My areas of clinical focus are depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions (new job, or school transitions) and interpersonal communication between family, coworkers, and/or friends.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. It is my firm belief that individuals are best served when their family environment/system is functioning optimally. It is my goal to help those I serve achieve a deep sense of hope, purpose, and positive self-regard so they can live their best lives possible as they desire. During this challenging time in our community, I offer safe, secure telehealth (video) sessions to help you feel as comfortable as possible while attending to your mental health needs.

Generally, we react to suffering and what we struggle with by trying to fix perceived problems, our selves, or others. It is natural to not want to suffer, but often our very resistance to suffering, or the habits we develop to avoid discomfort and pain work against us. I provide an integrative, soul-nourishing approach to therapy rooted in embodied depth psychology, health coaching, and mindfulness practices that encourages fully accepting ourselves: our bodies, feelings, and thoughts as they are.

I am a Licensed Mental Health therapist and have had my own private practice for 14 years. I have worked with children, adolescents and families for 20 years. I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Gonzaga University and I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems, and art/ sand tray therapy for children. I see therapy as creating a safe atmosphere to explore awareness and affirm the unique gifts of individuals toward healing and wholeness. Visit my website at www.marycaruso.com

Thank you for taking the time to read my bio and inform yourself about how I might be of help to you. I believe deeply that life is meant to be lived rather than survived. However, it is not that uncommon for the collective experiences and traumas of life to push us into a way of functioning that can begin to feel more like survival. Despite our best efforts we can begin to feel discouraged, anxious, depressed and exhausted. These feelings can lead to choices and behaviors that are destructive to ourselves and those we love.

I am a person-centered, strengths-based therapist who brings empathy and compassion to the process. I am here to guide you in the right direction & support you along your path. Therapy can be one way of seeing difficulties in a different way, a way that will help you to see the solutions. Let me help you find the solutions that will work for you. Whether you want to address individual issues, issues in your family or relationship or issues along the parenting spectrum (parenting, infertility, postpartum, pregnancy loss, perinatal depression), it would be my honor to hear your story.

I am a dedicated and compassionate mental health counselor, committed to providing support, guidance, and empowerment to individuals with various mental health challenges.
