    Individual Therapy

    I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the states of Illinois, Washington, and Oregon, and can provide individual, typically weekly, therapy to adults in these states. Currently, I am only offering telehealth sessions.

  • Max the dog resting his chin on a TTRPG map covered with miniatures, and game pieces. He looks sad, maybe he rolled a natural one.

    TTRPG Group Therapy (think Dungeons and Dragons!)

    Therapy is most effective when the concerns that bring you to counseling play out in the therapeutic space itself. Tabletop Roleplaying Game group therapy is a fun and effective way to help that happen. So roll initiative and bring it to the table!

    If you’re not confident TTRPGs are for you (or nervous to try them out) I offer one-shot introductions that can be a fun way to meet me, try something new, and maybe learn something about yourself. While these one-shots are not covered by insurance, the ten-week groups often are!

    Cognitive Character Profile Assessment

    Non-clinical but expert assessments designed to better understand unique brains. A neurodiversity-affirming approach to understanding your strengths and the processing challenges and bottlenecks that cause friction in your life. Leave the assessment process with increased insight, decreased shame, and a Cognitive Character Profile that uses TTRPG-style character sheets to summarize the unique vulnerabilities, skills, and tools you bring to your life. Standard Diagnostic Pscychological Assessments are also available.

    Outreach and Trainings

    Therapy services can be hard to access, it’s important to me that Deiss Psychotherapy’s impact doesn’t end there. I offer trainings on community suicide prevention to people in and serving high-risk communities. I also provide education on working with gender diverse populations for mental health and medical providers. I’m also happy to work with your organization to develop trainings and workshops related to my specialty areas!
