Counselor and Play Therapist
Welcome!
My name is Hannah Benedict. I am a licensed professional counselor and play therapist as well as a certified parent coach. My mission is to empower individuals and families with practical solutions to overcome challenges and flourish. I believe we all live from a place of story. This story inside of us influences how we live and I am passionate about helping people know their stories.
Born and raised in the northwest, I love pretty much anything that gets me outside. Hiking and paddle boarding in the summer and skiing in the winter are some of my favorites. I believe there is never a wrong time for ice cream. (Feel free to ask me my current favorite when we meet!) If I’m not outside playing, you will most likely find me laying in my hammock getting lost in a book.
Background and Education
I have a master’s degree in counseling and am a licensed professional counselor as well as a masters level Certified PCI Parent Coach®. I have additional training in non-directive play therapy, Synergetic Play Therapy, EMDR, sand tray, and expressive art modalities.
My background includes over 15 years of experience as an educator in a variety of settings including: trauma, learning difference, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, adoption/foster care, and developmental support.
