Caladrius Therapy

Have you heard about our teen tabletop game emotional skills group? Led by Mia Dadian, LCSW, its a new way to provide teen support.

Some teens shut down in traditional therapy. Sitting across from an adult and being asked to talk about their feelings doesn’t work for everyone and it doesn’t have to. The Teen TTRPG Group is built around tabletop roleplaying games: the kind where you create a character, roll dice, work together to solve problems, and build a story as a group.

The game is the format, not just an activity. Character creation builds self-reflection in a low-stakes way. Collaborative storytelling creates real situations where social skills matter; like taking turns, reading the room, managing frustration, advocating for your character (and yourself). Problem-solving with a group turns real social challenges into something teens can practice live, with support.

This group is for teens who learn better by doing than by talking about doing. It works particularly well for teens dealing with social anxiety, difficulty connecting with peers, or who have felt out of place in group formats before. Sessions are weekly and run with a small group. No experience with tabletop games is needed.

By the end, most participants have built real connections within the group and a noticeably more confident sense of how to show up in social situations outside it.
