Therapeutic Gaming

Explore Yourself Through Therapeutic Gaming

Who you are can shape the character you play, and in turn, the character you embody can help you discover more about yourself. In Therapeutic Gaming, making choices for your character within a safe, imaginative world allows you to:

• Explore different aspects of your personality
• Practice traits of the person you hope to become
• Gain new perspectives and corrective experiences
• Connect gameplay to real-life growth and healing

Our approach blends therapeutic principles with gaming, turning play into a meaningful tool for self-awareness and personal development.

How Therapeutic Gaming Works

Each group and session is designed to meet the specific goals of participants:

• Pre-screening ensures the best fit for each member
• Group objectives are identified before the game begins
• Role-playing games are designed to align with therapeutic goals
• Gameplay is followed by guided reflection to connect insights to daily life

Currently, there are two specialized gaming groups available:

1. Self-Discovery & Understanding Others

• Explore identity, decision-making, and relationships through tabletop role-playing
• Gain insight into your own personality and how you relate to others
• Safe, supportive environment for reflection and growth

2. Social Anxiety Support

• Use structured gaming to practice social interactions
• Build confidence and comfort in group settings
• Engage with peers in a low-pressure, collaborative environment

Each group runs for 8 sessions and pricing varies depending on the program.
