Groups:

What is a TTRPG and why does it work with therapy?

A tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) is a collaborative storytelling game where players create characters and work together to navigate challenges and narratives such as in Dungeons & Dragons.

When used in therapy, TTRPGs blend creativity, structure, and connection. They allow participants to safely explore emotions, relationships, and personal growth through story, play, and imagination—making them a powerful tool for healing.

What is a trauma-informed TTRPG?

A trauma-informed TTRPG combines the creativity of roleplaying games with evidence-informed trauma care.
Sessions are led by a licensed clinician and use safety tools, collaborative storytelling, and clear group agreements to create a secure, supportive, and empowering therapeutic environment.

How can TTRPGs help with trauma recovery?

Roleplaying games can help clients:

  • Process emotions safely through story and metaphor

  • Build resilience and problem-solving skills

  • Practice new coping strategies in a low-stakes environment

  • Strengthen relational and communication skills

In our clinical therapy groups, participants create characters, explore narrative arcs, and engage in group collaboration—all designed to support trauma recovery and emotional growth.

Do you offer therapy groups that use D&D or other RPG systems?

Yes. We run clinical TTRPG therapy groups using Dungeons & Dragons and other systems for youth and adults.
Each group is led by a trauma-informed, independently licensed clinician and integrates evidence-informed therapy approaches such as the ARC framework and EMDR principles.

Groups are 75 minutes and focus on safety, relational connection, and healing through play.

Do I need an intake before joining a group?

Yes. All participants complete an individual intake session before joining a group.
The intake allows us to learn about your goals, history, and needs so we can ensure the best fit for your experience and therapeutic support.

Can you run a clinical TTRPG group for my organization?

Yes. We partner with schools, treatment programs, and community mental health agencies to design and facilitate customized clinical TTRPG therapy groups.
These can be tailored to specific populations, age ranges, or treatment goals, and can be integrated into existing programming.

What if I have a client I want to refer?

We welcome referrals from other therapists and providers.
If you believe a client may benefit from our trauma-informed TTRPG therapy groups, please invite them to schedule a free consultation through our website: resiliencequestcc.com.

All groups are currently virtual and limited to Massachusetts residents.

Individual:

What is individual therapy?

Individual therapy is a collaborative space where you can explore your story, build coping tools, and work toward the goals that matter most to you. Sessions are guided by compassion, curiosity, and a trauma-informed understanding of your unique experiences and identity.

Who do you work with?

I specialize in supporting neurodivergent teens and adults who have experienced trauma, burnout, anxiety, or challenges with connection and identity. Many of my clients are creatives, gamers, and deep thinkers who want to understand themselves better and build meaningful relationships.

What approaches do you use?

My approach integrates trauma-informed care, the ARC (Attachment, Regulation, and Competency) framework, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) techniques when appropriate. I also use narrative and play-based methods, including TTRPG-inspired storytelling and character creation, to help clients explore identity and growth through creative expression.

How can therapy help me?

Therapy can help you:

  • Understand how past experiences shape your present

  • Build emotional regulation and self-compassion

  • Strengthen relationships and boundaries

  • Increase confidence, creativity, and connection

  • Feel more grounded and in control of your story

What will therapy be like?

Each session is tailored to your pace and needs. Some weeks may focus on deep emotional processing, while others emphasize skill-building or reflection. My goal is to create a space that honors your autonomy and neurodivergence, while offering structure, warmth, and clear direction when needed.

Do you offer both individual and group therapy?

Yes. I offer individual therapy for one-on-one support and group therapy that blends creative storytelling, roleplay, and connection. Many clients choose to participate in both for a well-rounded experience of individual growth and community connection.

How much does therapy cost?

  • Intake session: $150 (50 minutes)

  • Ongoing sessions: $150 (50 minutes)

Resilience Quest is a private pay practice, which means I do not bill insurance directly. However, I can provide a superbill (an itemized receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed, as each insurance provider has its own policies for out-of-network services. I recommend contacting your insurance company directly to learn more about your specific benefits.

Are sessions virtual or in person?

All sessions are currently offered virtually for clients located in Massachusetts. This allows for flexibility, accessibility, and the ability to connect from the comfort of your own space.
