Fandom & Friends

Ages 13–17

Bring the worlds you love, and find people who love them too.

Some teens feel most like themselves when they’re talking about a favorite book, show, game, or anime. This small, therapist-led group uses those stories as a way in, helping teens connect with peers and talk about friendships, identity, and what it’s like to feel a little different.

No experience or assignments needed. Just bring what you love.

Who This Group Is For

Ages 13–14
This group may be a good fit for a teen who:

  • Feels like they don’t quite fit in with peers

  • Finds it hard to make or keep friends

  • Would rather talk about characters than feelings

  • Feels misunderstood or “too sensitive”

  • Loves books, shows, games, anime, or fandoms

Ages 15–17
This group may be a good fit for an older teen who:

  • Feels like they don’t quite fit in with peers

  • Is dealing with changing friendships or feeling left behind

  • Would rather talk about characters than feelings

  • Feels misunderstood, “too sensitive,” or unsure who they are

  • Loves books, shows, games, anime, or fandoms

What to Expect

Sessions mix conversation, creative activities, and reflection, often starting from the stories and characters the group cares about. There’s room to participate in different ways, and no one has to be ready to share everything right away.

Before joining, families have a brief consultation to make sure the group is a good fit.
