Gentle coaching in a relaxed atmosphere. The therapist and group that I was assigned to when I joined Hero Journey Club all share similar perspective and experience to me, which makes me feel welcome and heard every time I attend. I have never been one for one-on-one therapy because I find talking about my feelings a little uncomfortable, but it becomes much more bearable with a group to bounce my thoughts off of. Being able to indulge in a bit of gameplay while I unwind makes Hero Journey Club worth it each time.

First Ever Positive Group Experience This is the first group mental health experience that I have undertaken that has been a true benefit to me and my overall wellbeing. Many tries at traditional group therapy in the past have lead to inevitably giving up and feeling even more demoralized and broken than before, so it is a welcome change and a huge relief to find an experience that is constructive for me and not alienating or uncomfortable to participate in. Our session leader, Sam, is super helpful, respectful, and insightful and does a great job guiding our group through conversations while we are each able to use gaming as a way to not only connect to each other, but also to provide a comforting, stable, and positively diverting base beneath us as we work through sometimes difficult topics or moments of personal processing. I am glad to have learned of Hero Journey Club and to have been brave enough to give it a go!

A great experience I absolutely love Rachel (my journey guide) She is great, so friendly and is so supportive. I think it's just great that they offer this service because it's much more anxiety friendly than going into a psychologist office. I also love the group aspect because it's a chance to make new friends, play some new video games and for someone quiet like me, other people to lead the conversation where I can chime in with my experiences and everything. It's just so much more comfortable than any office I've been into.

Wonderful Little Community It’s been so great to have an outlet every week to talk about life, mental health struggles, and anything else with people who are going through something similar and who care. Our guide is really great and always offers a kind perspective. We are a group of 4 usually and it’s just enough time for everyone to share and have the other group member and guide offer advice and support. Also we play cute games together sometimes :)
