How Hero Journey Club Works

Step 1: Onboard & Match
  • After signing up, we ask you a series of questions that allow us to understand your needs and preferences.
  • We then tailor a group specially for you, using your preferences in these areas:
    - Life stage
    - Mental health areas of focus
    - Preferred support style
    - Gender identity
    - LGBTQ+ allyship
    - Racial & cultural identity
    - Neurodivergence
    - Weekly availability
  • Finally, we match your group to an expert therapist that is experienced in supporting the mental health areas that you and your group have specified.
Step 2: Meet with Your Group Weekly
  • Before each session starts, the group can load up a game of choice and play together behind the scenes as the session takes place.
  • Gain knowledge by sharing things that have come up for you, and hearing perspectives from those that have been in your shoes, as well as guidance from your group’s therapist facilitator.
  • Only share when and what you want to—just listening is always an option.
Step 3: Practice New Skills Between Sessions
  • Practice the skills and tools you learn in session, and check in the following week to discuss how it went.
  • Reach out to your group members at any time to get extra support, celebrate wins or simply game together. As trust develops and grows, your group becomes a newfound support system.

Thoughts From Our Members

Emily

HJC has VASTLY improved my mental health, and I always feel like I belong. My group mates are some of the most supportive people I’ve ever met, and HJC’s therapists are always so kind and compassionate toward me and everyone else! This is hands down the most welcoming and safe space I have ever been in.

John

I've been here for a while and I've really enjoyed everything you’re doing here. It's helped more than any 1:1 therapy I've tried so far honestly. I've just been trying to get my depression under control. I struggle a lot, but I find myself looking forward to these sessions every week.

Allie

HJC has honestly been life changing for me. I’d never found a therapist I’ve connected with so well before and I’ve never had the experience of a therapeutic community like this one before. I’ve felt significantly better since starting sessions with them and can actually feel some of my less than beneficial habits finally loosening their grip. Honestly couldn’t recommend this more!

Stephanie

It's helped a lot to be able to tell the group what I'm feeling and get those feelings validated and even some insight to why my mental illness affects my mood so. There's also others that think like me there and the community is just so wholesome and it's such a family place. If you've ever felt like you don't belong, try here. They are very open and so loving. I'm incredibly grateful to be a part of it.

Cody

I wish I could put into words how very grateful I am to have gotten an ad for such a lovely group, but I don’t think words can even begin to describe it. You have been such a shining light in my life and I am incredibly thankful for all that you guys do.
