Dylan Spradlin, MA, MSW
Founder, Child Trauma Specialist
Certified Synergetic Play Therapist
I have been working with kids since I was thirteen years old, and have developed my skills continually through trainings, formal education, and advanced degrees. I bring compassion, humor, authenticity, and hope to the children, parents and caregivers and individual adults I serve.
I am a licensed social worker and have a private play therapy practice in Missoula, Montana where I live with my husband and two dogs. I have an adult daughter that lives on a small island in British Columbia, where I also used to live after growing up in the Pacific Northwest.
In my house you’ll find books by Patricia Polacco, Ted Rand, and the entire collection of Toot and Puddle, as well as a Young Adult series I’m a cult fan of, and also have a tattoo of on my arm.
You’ll also find lots of dog hair. during the growing season, you’ll find me in my pollinator garden I call the Twisted Plot, to reflect my love of theater.
“Dylan has helped me navigate through a difficult time, and helped me find my own parenting voice that was true to myself and also met the unique needs of my children. They never tried to push me into any sort of preprogrammed ideal of what that should look like.
Dylan has always been a trusted advisor who met me where I was in the moment and guided me into my next chapter with grace and kindness.”
