The Healing Word Approach:

At Healing Word Counseling, we combine Narrative and Existential therapy with the world of Table Top Role-Playing Games — yes, including Dungeons & Dragons — to help adolescents and young adults (ages 15–32) tell a new story about themselves. Whether we're exploring your life through character creation, running a therapeutic campaign in a group setting, or using the language of storytelling to make sense of what you're carrying — this isn't your typical therapy.

We specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity, and the unique stress of growing up in today's world. All sessions are via a secure telehealth program — from your home, dorm room, or anywhere private.
