Mindful Magic: DBT, ACT, and RPG
A collaborative therapy group for adults looking to build mindfulness skills, deepen self-awareness, and connect with others in a meaningful and playful way!
Therapy Group · Marietta, GA & Telehealth · Georgia & Alabama
You read the books. You waited for the letter. You know the one I’m talking about. You feel pulled toward other worlds where for a time you find a sense of belonging, hope, and power.
Now, your letter never came. She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named went and made your love for a certain fandom complicated. And life just keeps getting harder.
But here’s a chance to reclaim your magic! Magic and adventure is meant for everyone, and now it’s your turn to get your wand, broom, familiar, and some special therapy skills.
Mindful Magic is a group for those who grew up devouring books, daydreaming about fantasy lands and characters, and feeling too much and/or not enough. Get a chance to practice therapy skills in a game format before taking them out into your real world. Come rediscover your inner magic.
Using real therapeutic methods — DBT skills, ACT, attachment work, parts (IFS) work — woven into collaborative storytelling, Mindful Magic is where you learn to conjure the courage to take up space, ask for what you need, and let people see the full, magical you.
After all, there’s a little witch in all of us.
Reconnect with your inner child. Learn helpful skills. Make therapy fun.
Practice being more present, fostering healthy communication, manage big emotions, and more!

The Approach
-
This is different from therapy you may have done before. It’s skills-building, skills practice, relationship work, creative play, and therapeutic processing rolled into one.
Therapeutic roleplay lets you explore different parts of yourself and different aspects of your identity in a low(er)-stakes setting. Play is so helpful at helping regulate your nervous system, bringing more joy into your life, building and practicing new skills, and finding support and belonging. -
Before joining the group, you’ll have a private intake session with Maggie. You’ll get to know each other, discuss your goals, then collaboratively build your character as part of a full clinical assessment.
-
Your small group of 4-6 people creates a shared magical school and inhabits it together, session by session, using the Kids on Brooms framework. Maggie guides the story with your individual therapeutic goals woven throughout.
-
Your character gets to do the things that are hardest for you in real life, such as stand up for themselves, be vulnerable, take up space, survive mistakes and failures, build meaningful relationships… and so do you!
-
Every session starts with a quick skill overview and closes with a structured debrief that bridges what happened in the story to your actual life. You take insights, the relationships, and the skills with you back into the real world.
The Nitty Gritty Details
Format
1
This group is a weekly 90-minute group that meets Thursdays at 5:45 PM. This group will likely be virtual, but I can accommodate in-person in downtown Marietta, if group members are open to this option. Telehealth groups are open to GA and AL residents.
Group Size and Duration
2
Group size will be 4-6 members. I will ask for a 12-week commitment with an option to extend or continue into a second cohort, if so desired. This is a closed group, meaning all members will start at the same time and there will be no new members during the 12 weeks.
Cost
3
Each group costs $100 per person. Your initial intake session with me will cost $200-225. This group is private pay only; I do not accept insurance. There is one sliding scale (reduced fee) slot available for someone who is committed to engaging but cannot afford the full fee.
Getting Started
4
You can reach out to schedule a free, 15-minute call with me, Maggie, through this direct scheduling link or by emailing my at mmalone@rosebudpsychotherapy.com. If we chat and both feel good about moving forward, we’ll schedule a 75-90 minute individual session together to go over your history, your goals, your character creation, and orientation to the group and game.
