Group Counseling

Exploring self through TTRPGs.

Dice & Discovery is a therapeutic role-playing group that uses tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) to foster personal growth, build social connections, and develop coping skills in a supportive environment. This group is designed for students experiencing general anxiety, social anxiety, and/or depression.

Discovering nourishment beyond the plate — feeding your mind, body, and spirit.

What if you could trade the battle with the mirror and the scale for peace, food rules for freedom, and self-criticism for compassion? What if nourishment meant more than what you eat—it also meant caring for your emotional needs, reshaping the standards you hold for yourself, honoring your body, and nurturing your soul and spirit?
Nourished is an 8-week process group for women who are seeking healing in their relationship with food, their body, and exercise. Together, we will identify the underlying factors that have contributed to your current struggles, learn practical tools to challenge disordered eating patterns, and begin cultivating a more compassionate and trusting relationship with your body and yourself. We will explore what it means to be nourished beyond the plate—learning how to care for our whole selves: mind, body, soul, and spirit, as God created us to. 
Through self-reflection, group connection, and clinician-led support, you will discover healthier ways to meet your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, navigate life's challenges, and strengthen self-awareness. You will begin taking steps toward recovery and a more meaningful way of living—one that moves beyond the mirror and the scale, creating space to invest in what matters most: your relationships, your values, your passions, and your hopes for the future.

Understanding and challenging unhealthy, self-defeating patterns.

The purpose of this group is to explore one’s individual schemas, which are unrealized beliefs about the self that affect how you relate to others and create unhealthy life patterns. We’ll be using Jeffery Young’s schema inventories to assess individual schemas, explore origins in childhood, discuss meaning, and discover how to understand and meet our needs in healthy ways. This time is dedicated to helping the group find healing through sharing, discussing biblical application, and finding freedom from self-defeating patterns.
