In D&D, players explore emotional resilience, empathy, and recovery through storytelling. Every support role, spell, and shared moment can reflect real-life coping skills—making the game a powerful tool for personal growth and healing. 💬🛡️🎲

Dragons Den Counseling is now accepting new clients and referrals for both individual counseling and therapeutic tabletop role-playing groups!

I specialize in working with neurodivergent kids, teens, and young adults through a blend of traditional therapy and geek culture, offering a supportive space where clients can explore identity, develop coping skills, and build confidence. Individual sessions integrate interests like games, stories, and fandoms to make therapy engaging, meaningful, and accessible.

Group therapy sessions are also open for registration, with current offerings for kids (ages 7–12), teens (13–17), and adults (18+). These tabletop RPG therapy groups use games such as Dungeons and Dragons and Daggerheart to use collaborative storytelling and roleplay to support social skills, emotional growth, and self-expression in a structured, therapeutic setting.

Sometimes, the game needs a pause. Breaking the fourth wall during TTRPGs helps ensure emotional safety, address real-life issues, and build trust. It’s a reminder: players come first, story second. 🎭💬

Healing spells in fantasy games aren’t just magic—they’re metaphors. Shield becomes a boundary, Calm Emotions a deep breath. Through play, players learn real-life coping skills in powerful, memorable ways. ✨

Board games are more than fun—they’re mental workouts. From planning and memory to social skills and flexible thinking, play strengthens key cognitive abilities in an engaging, low-pressure way. 🎲🧠✨

Fandoms aren’t just hobbies—they’re homes. For many, shared stories lead to real belonging, friendship, and identity exploration. In therapy, they offer bridges to connection and trust. 💬🧠❤️

Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical. When we gamify the process—using quests, XP, and character growth—clients engage more deeply, think creatively, and feel empowered in their journey. 🎮🌟

D&D brings moral questions to the table—literally. As players choose actions for their characters, they reflect on values, ethics, and identity in meaningful ways. Alignment becomes a tool for growth, not just gameplay. ⚖️🎲🌿

Roleplaying through games, fandoms, or cosplay isn’t just play—it’s social rehearsal. For many, it’s how confidence, empathy, and communication skills are safely built and practiced. 🎭🧠🌟

Improvisation in roleplaying games builds cognitive flexibility—helping players adapt, problem-solve, and think creatively in the moment. It’s a playful way to strengthen executive function and emotional agility, especially for neurodivergent minds. 🔄🧠🎲
