Therapists in Spokane, WA

I have worked with a variety of different clients with unique and diverse walks of life. I became a counselor because I believe in people's ability to grow, learn and heal. I am here to help guide and facilitate that growth, to meet you where you are to help you heal, learn and grow. I provide a space of non-judgment, that is safe to walk on your path of discovery and recovery. Life can be a difficult journey at times and for different reasons, but it helps to have someone walk along side you as you persevere through these trials. I believe in hope, that even in our darkest of days, hope is on the horizon.

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.

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.

We are accepting new clients. I specialize in helping individuals and families reach and stay in recovery from anxiety and other mood disorders, substance misuse, trauma, relationship conflicts and issues surrounding grief and loss.

The daily struggles of life, loss, relationships, and health are real. But we are not supposed to face them alone. We may not choose the pain that comes our way, but we can choose how we respond. Inner peace and strength are gifts from God — gifts that are within our reach. I will partner with you in your journey toward healing, providing the resources and space you need to apply faith and skill in everyday life.

I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing difficult life transitions, adoption, sexual trauma, mood and anxiety disorders, and those who aren't quite sure what category they would fall into. Once you walk into the room it is up to the therapist & the client to figure out how the therapist can facilitate personal life growth.In session we will learn to Express ourselves through art, nature, our bodies and minds. We may take a walk, create something abstract or sit and talk; the therapy adventure is yours and I am simply a therapist to guide you towards stability, growth and your highest potential.

New information, skills, and understandings will move you forward to goals you don't even know as possibilities. You have certain skills and understandings that have brought you to where you are now. A lot of folks believe that more willpower will make the difference and that is what is needed. But, if willpower hasn’t worked out for you up to this point, maybe new information, abilities, and insights are available. Learning new ways of coping is a short-term solution to “life is difficult". My experience, both personally and professionally, is that when we find new sources of strength, we become empowered in significant ways.

Hi there! My name is Wes Walton. I have a passion for therapy grounded in scripture and deeply value the power of relationships in our lives. I believe they greatly influence the way we see ourselves, others, and the world. In turn creating patterns of behavior and relationships we desire to change. I have experience working with various traumas, marital conflict, families, men's issues, father wounds, spiritual difficulties and challenges relating to God. While Christian/Biblically focused therapy is my passion, I welcome all no matter the difference in beliefs.

I am in this line of work because I firmly believe in the incredible strength of the human spirit and our ability to create desired change. My M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy afforded an elevated perspective of the human condition through the lens of larger influential systems. This framework shifted psychotherapy away from exclusively looking at the individual to looking at the family and other significant relationships to understand the context of a client's struggle as well as their potential for healing.

Tharseo Counseling Services was founded around one idea: hope through a relationship with Jesus Christ. With hope comes the possibility of change, growth, and purpose. Without it, we can feel isolated, burdensome, and despairing. Tharseo exists for two reasons: First, to help the hopeless find their source of hope in Christ, which allows them to walk securely through life with conviction and purpose. Secondly, Tharseo assists those already with that hope to navigate obstacles that threaten to misalign them from their known purpose. We do this by integrating biblical principles with practical application.
