You may be seeking deeper connection with yourself, with others, or with what gives your life meaning. Maybe you're navigating trauma, identity shifts, burnout, or feeling disconnected from your emotions, passions, or values. You might long to feel more whole, empowered, and alive. I use creative and relational approaches including empowered storytelling, games, pop culture, and art to help you reconnect with what matters most, explore new self-narratives, and build a life rooted in authenticity. I offer individual therapy, diagnostic evaluations, and group therapies like Dungeons and Dragons group therapy and ACT skills groups.

I help people recover from trauma and stress from adversity, including complex PTSD and moral injury. I guide clients in making sense of their stories and patterns, aligning with values, and fostering self-compassion. Culturally humble care is central to my work, with experience supporting LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, religiously diverse, military, and Veteran clients.

I believe that people are creative, resourceful, and strive to be their best selves. The narrative that we tell ourselves about who we are and our purpose in this world has a profound impact on how we approach and experience our lives. The story of ourselves is something we get to define and I hope to help you unlock your hero’s journey.

Dungeons & Dragons Provider Training Group

Hosted by

Dr. Allison Battles

This online training group is for providers who want to learn how to facilitate Dungeons & Dragons therapy groups by engaging as participants. This unique training allows providers to experience the group process firsthand, learning techniques and methods experientially. Participants will engage in self-reflection, collaborate in storytelling through role-playing characters, and immerse themselves in the group process. This training is not intended to serve as therapy for providers. Instead, it offers an opportunity to build skills through active participation and discussion. Each session concludes with group processing and a brief didactic component linking experiential learning to practical facilitation techniques.
