Adventure Therapy
Join an epic journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
What is Adventure Therapy?
Adventure Therapy is a psychotherapy approach that combines group therapy using applied tabletop role-playing with weekly individual appointments. It is not for everyone. It’s an approach aimed at engaging clients who have a love for fantasy and role-play and are looking for a new way to grow.
Do I need experience with D&D or other Tabletop Games?
None at all. I will be happy to teach anyone who is interested.
Who can benefit from Adventure Therapy?
Adventure Therapy can benefit individuals who are hoping to overcome anxiety and depression. Participants often see improvements in social skills, empathy, insight, and self-development.
Where is the clinic located?
The clinic is located in the Koko Marina Shopping Center in Hawaii Kai.
What insurance do you accept?
Depending on each client’s challenge, they may be eligible for insurance to cover the cost of the appointments, other than a copay. We accept most major insurance providers in Hawaii.
How can I get in touch?
You can email [email protected] or call/text (808) 657-3800. I am often in appointments and hope to return your call or email within a week.
Is this group confidential?
Yes, I am required to keep all identifying information confidential. I will ask any participant to agree to keep every participant’s name and personal stories confidential. I will ask every participant to agree and sign a document agreeing to the terms of confidentiality. I will discuss this in more detail with each client before the group begins.
Are there Group Rules?
I will go over this during “Session Zero.” Every participant will need to agree to be respectful, not interrupt others, maintain confidentiality, stay off their phones, and respect the space. We need to agree to these rules so everyone knows it’s a safe space..
Do I need to bring anything?
Nope.
Can I bring a friend?
I’m sorry, but each group will be closed to just the selected participants. I do this in order to respect confidentiality.
