In this episode, we are joined by two remarkable guests from Tennessee: Kiela Hinson and Vanessa Davis.

Kiela Hinson is a masters level clinician with a deep passion for the therapeutic benefits of role-playing games. She wrote her thesis on RPGs and wellbeing and is currently assisting with a virtual therapeutic DnD group alongside our supervisor and mentor. Kiela's insights into the intersection of mental health and RPGs bring a unique perspective to our discussion.

Vanessa Davis is a licensed counselor, supervisor, music therapist, drum circle facilitator, and therapeutic game master. With over two years of experience running therapeutic DnD groups for teens and adults, Vanessa recently facilitated a successful DnD Camp for teens. Her diverse expertise in integrating music, drumming, and role-playing games into therapy provides a holistic approach to mental wellness.

Tune in as we, Kiela, and Vanessa explore how role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons can be powerful tools for personal growth, emotional healing, and community building. Discover the magic that happens when therapy and play come together on Roll 4 Insight!
