Social Skills Building with Dungeons and Dragons

D&D Therapy is to assist in the management of social anxiety for young adults (18-26)! This group utilizes the table-top game Dungeons & Dragons to facilitate the building of social skills, assist in management of anxiety, and establish supportive relationships for the management of struggles related to isolation and depression. Talk therapy, role-play, emotional sharing, and even some art therapy are all thrown into the mix for a unique immersive experience. Common therapy goals include developing communication and assertiveness skills, learning how to work in a team, and building personal emotional insight.

I am licensed clinical psychologist that can help manage a supportive group through the facilitation of narrative therapy, creative story-building, and emotional communication through role-play. I will be able to guide new players of the game in figuring out how to build a character that you will incorporate into a communal narrative therapy journey, go over game rules, and facilitate emotional group discussions and role-play for the management of social anxiety and the building of interpersonal communication skills.
