weekly rpg groups

Meet new people! Take part in daring adventures! Learn and practice new skills! Collaborate with others, utilize your unique strengths, and celebrate your true self while playing cool characters of your own design!

We understand that shared interests play a vital role in creating a positive and supportive environment. Our groups provide a space where you can connect with others who share your love of gaming to foster a sense of belonging and to build positive relationships.

Our online groups meet via HIPPA-compliant secure video conferencing. Our in-person groups meet in Walnut Creek.

All our groups are designed and facilitated to be age and developmentally appropriate. We are a neurodiverse-affirmative practice. Our games are designed and performed to integrate the players unique interests and passions.

Our ongoing two-hour weekly groups meet in six week series (12-hours per round). Players can then choose whether to continue.

All the Actors and Activity Facilitators are licensed mental health clinicians or graduate-level clinical volunteers.

Cost is $100/per session (only $50 an hour, $600 per 12-hour, 6 week group.) A one-hour individual intake and character creation meeting is included at no-cost and precedes the group sessions.

To register, please send a note through the Contact Page and the facilitator will reach out to you.
