This is a term-long counseling group where participants will play in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign facilitated by a Clinical Counselor and Applied Therapeutic Game Master trained in the therapeutic application of tabletop role-playing games. This is a process-based group (meaning your growth and improvements result mostly from your interactions with others in the group) so significant participation from participants is expected and encouraged! This group can be of benefit for many reasons, but is especially geared towards those having some difficulty with social functioning, neurodivergence, or an unstable sense of self.

Ever feel like you’re fighting a war against your own reflection? Do you feel pressure to look a certain way? Between social media and societal expectations, it is easy to feel disconnected from your own body. You are not alone, and you do not have to carry this burden by yourself. We will unpack toxic standards, shift the focus from form to function, and share real strategies for body acceptance. This isn’t a lecture; it’s a safe space to explore body image distress with people who get it. Take your power back from the mirror.
