Ever wished you could talk about your favorite video game, anime, or Marvel character in therapy—and have it mean something?
You can. That’s what Geek Therapy is all about.
Geek Therapy is a creative approach to counseling that utilizes your favorite fandoms—such as comic books, movies, Dungeons & Dragons, sci-fi, and more—as tools for connection, growth, and healing. Because sometimes the best way to understand yourself is by exploring the stories, characters, and worlds that speak to you.
Wait… You Can Really Talk About That in Therapy?
Yes. 100%.
Geek Therapy works by connecting what you care about—your geeky side—to what you’re going through. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, identity, relationships, or just trying to figure yourself out, your fandom can help guide the way.
Together, we might:
- Use your favorite characters to explore emotions
- Talk about game mechanics to understand relationships or boundaries
- Role-play scenarios (hello, D&D fans) to process stress or build confidence
It’s a fun, meaningful way to go deeper—especially if traditional therapy hasn’t felt like a fit.
Is Geek Therapy Right for Me?
If you’ve ever felt more comfortable in fictional worlds than real ones, or if you’ve found comfort, confidence, or clarity through games, shows, or stories—you might be a great fit.
Geek Therapy can be especially helpful for:
- LGBTQIA+ individuals
- Neurodivergent clients (including those on the autism spectrum)
- Introverts or folks who feel “different”
- Anyone who wants to feel seen and heard in a space that honors their full self.
And no—you don’t have to be “super geeky” to benefit. We only use fandoms in therapy if you want to.
What Happens in a Session?
Every session is tailored to you. Some clients love diving into character comparisons or talking through game plots. Others prefer a more traditional approach with a geeky twist. There’s no one-size-fits-all. Geek Therapy is just one way to make the process more comfortable, creative, and relatable.
Let’s Be Real—Healing Doesn’t Have to Be Boring
Therapy isn’t always heavy or serious. Sometimes, healing looks like learning about yourself through the stories that inspire you. Sometimes it looks like laughing over a shared fandom, finding your inner hero, or realizing that your favorite character struggles just like you do—and still grows.
Geek Therapy helps you connect the dots, in your language, and at your pace.
