Groups at TCC
At Tompkins Community Counseling, our groups are ongoing and flexible to meet community needs. After signing up, you will be added to an interest list, and a team member will contact you to confirm and answer questions. We schedule meetings once enough participants are interested to ensure a time that works for everyone.

D&D: Here There be Dragons
This is a social-skills focused therapeutic tabletop roleplaying group (TTRPG), led by a licensed clinician (LMSW) and certified therapeutic Game Master.
Therapeutic roleplaying games inspire self-confidence and self-exploration, encourage teamwork, and give participants a safe space to practice social skills, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. For almost all of human history, we have used storytelling to better understand others and ourselves. These games do just that, with an element of chance thrown in to make things interesting.
