Queer-Affirming Geek Therapy in Tacoma, WA
New Game Plus Therapy
Therapy for queer, neurodivergent, and fandom-connected people who are tired of translating themselves.
The Vibe
The therapist I wanted when I was younger.
A space where the weird kid, the masked kid, the queer kid, the anxious kid, the kid who escaped into stories, and the adult they became can all show up without apology.
You do not have to make your life sound more "normal" to be understood here. Your games, ships, OCs, collections, comfort shows, chosen family, sensory needs, and survival strategies can all be part of the conversation.
Authenticity Over Performance
No lore dump is too much if it helps us find the pattern.
Therapy can be serious without being sterile. It can include hard truths, nervous laughter, a character arc you are still mad about, and the realization that the thing you thought was "too much" was actually context.
Therapy With Context
Bring the whole party to the table.
At New Game+ Therapy, we provide a neurodivergent-affirming space where your passions are not just hobbies. They are tools and magic that can help you move forward and heal.
Have you ever wanted to talk to your therapist about your OC? Struggled to explain why raid night is more than sitting at a computer? Argued over buying a model kit, a box of cards, or that impossible-to-find Transformer for your collection?
We get it because we have lived it ourselves: the shame of liking a "cartoon," the guilt over wanting the new chase card even though it is "just" cardboard, and the embarrassment of not sharing the new convention or boss clear because no one would understand.
