Our Mission

We are a group of mental health professionals and nerds in Chicagoland. We enjoy working with fellow nerds in therapy to help them achieve their goals.

We know that cosplay can be therapeutic, that super heroes reflect humanity, that anime is an art form, and that video games can teach us about ourselves.

We also believe that having a therapist who understands your interests is beneficial for having a natural conversation. Telling a typical therapist, “My WoW guild has been arguing recently. Our tank hasn’t shown up to the last few raids and our DPS keeps running away from the healer.” could mean having to stop six separate times to explain yourself.

Most of us use our shared interests therapeutically, gladly talking about the themes explored by the latest Marvel movie, running a Dungeons & Dragons campaign as group therapy, or playing video games with clients to help clients feel comfortable being vulnerable.
