D&D Group Therapy
A therapeutic group experience using Dungeons & Dragons roleplay to work on real goals in a creative, affirming, and low-pressure setting.
← All specialtiesD&D Group Therapy uses collaborative storytelling and character-driven roleplay as a therapeutic framework. Inside the game world, you can practice communication, emotional regulation, decision-making, and social connection in ways that feel natural rather than clinical.
Allison Davis runs Obojima — a world inspired by Studio Ghibli art and The Legend of Zelda — as a small, intentional group for adults 20 and older. The group is LGBTQIA2S+ friendly and designed to hold therapeutic goals alongside genuine adventure.
