In-Person Groups
Therapeutic Tabletop Roleplaying Game Group
Join experienced Game Master and LMSW Aaron Sterling on a wild adventure through a fantastical land in one of our new Therapeutic Tabletop Roleplaying Game (TTRPG) Groups! You’ll be a member of a guild dedicated to defeating monsters that threaten the safety and security of a peaceful land. Along the way, you’ll meet powerful allies, fight monstrous foes, and learn about yourself, too. You’ll also grow team building skills, learn new problem solving techniques, and improve lateral thinking.
We are currently offering groups for Middle School students (ages 11-14), High School students (ages 15-18) and Young Adults. All genders, races, and demographics welcome. You can be an experienced gamer or brand new to TTRPG. Each group will cap at 5 clients. Groups will meet for 2 hours per week. Dates and times TBD based on therapist and group member availability. Our groups will be based primarily in a Dungeons and Dragons (DND) Fifth Edition (5E) (TM) approach.
Therapeutic Goals include:
- Building self-confidence and advocacy skills in challenging situations.
- Developing communication abilities with different kinds of people, in different kinds of roles.
- Using language and cooperative techniques to advocate for and navigate towards a specific goal.
- Practicing thinking ‘outside the box’ to logically analyze and solve problems.

It can be difficult to express our feelings with only words.
With the support of this group of like-minded peers, you or your teen will dive deep into thoughts, emotions, and experiences and channel them into something beautiful. This group is open to high school-aged individuals (15-18) with all or no experience in music and songwriting. The group will remain open for new members throughout the year.
