At BattleRobin Counseling, we harness the power of games and storytelling to foster social skills, confidence, and genuine connection. Our specialized individual and group therapy sessions are designed for those seeking to overcome life's challenges and build meaningful relationships with themselves and others. We believe that the narratives we craft about our identities and purposes shape our experiences and approach to life. Our mission is to empower you to redefine your self-narrative and embark on your own hero's journey. Let us help you unlock your potential and navigate your unique path with confidence and clarity. In our Roll for Growth group, we use the game Dungeons & Dragons to help those experiencing social anxiety, isolation, loneliness, and confusion about building lasting relationships. Therapeutically Applied Role-Playing Game (TA-RPG) groups integrate therapy skills and processing into gameplay and group discussions. Group members explore their personal challenges through the characters they play, working on barriers to living well and relating authentically. They are encouraged to take valued actions in character and to translate these in-game experiences into their everyday lives. The group fosters self-awareness, self-identity, social skills, flexible thinking, and valued action. Individual therapy services are also available and tailored to each client’s clinical, cultural, and personal needs. Dr. Allison Battles approaches therapy from an integrative, culturally sensitive perspective, helping clients explore their self-understanding and community connections to live a more authentic, values-driven life. Cultural humility is central to our clinical care, and Dr. Battles specializes in working with LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, religiously diverse individuals, military personnel, and veterans. She focuses on aiding those recovering from trauma and chronic stress, with expertise in healing complex PTSD, attachment-based traumas, and moral injury. BattleRobin Counseling is committed to community engagement, striving to provide greater access to mental health information and resources. We offer training and consultation services for therapeutic, educational, coaching, and gaming professionals, enabling more individuals to benefit from the life-enriching power of games and storytelling.

You are sitting in therapy watching your therapist's lips move while she tells you for the fourth time that her cousin is gay and just got a “very butch” haircut. You can’t help thinking, “She just doesn’t get it.” He misgenders you, or forgets your partner’s pronouns, she pulls out Food and Mood, and he talks about how apple cider vinegar might be the solution to all your problems. She hasn't lived in a fat body. He hasn’t experienced homophobia or heterosexism from the inside. What initially seemed like a small hill to climb in your relationship has started to feel like a mountain. Maybe she tells you your black top is so slimming. Maybe once he referred to queer people as ‘homosexuals.’ Maybe, when you report your experiences of oppression, she tells you that the other party probably meant well and just wanted you to be healthier or have it easier in the world. You don’t trust him with your whole self, how can you? You’ve tried so many therapists in the past and she’s not that bad, is she? You continue to hope that therapy with a therapist who doesn’t quite get it will be enough to meet your needs. It’s not enough. You deserve a therapist who understands your lived experiences. You deserve a therapist who knows what it’s like to have your doctor prescribe weight loss to treat arthritis in your wrists, and who can truly hear it when you tell them about your experience with your homophobic aunt at Thanksgiving. You deserve a therapist who approaches the world with a solid intersectional anti-oppression framework that sees society, rather than some flaw in you, as the central piece of your problem. I can be that therapist. I’m fat, I’m queer, I have an intersectional lens, and I want to dismantle systems of oppression one client session at a time.

Do you feel exhausted from trying to hold everything together? Maybe you have always been the responsible one or the person others rely on. You pushed through stress, anxiety, and family challenges because you felt like you had to. At first it seemed manageable, but now the pressure feels heavier and harder to carry. On the outside you appear confident and put together. Inside you might feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or worried that you cannot keep this up much longer. Wanting a break does not mean you are failing. It means you are human. I’m Sara, and I help students who are tired of perfectionism, constant pressure, and the weight of expectations. I work with people who want healthier relationships, better communication, and support as they process past experiences that still affect them today. My background includes ACT, CBT, TF-CBT, Brainspotting, and group therapy training, which allows me to tailor our work to what you need. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, honest, and real environment where you can finally let your guard down. I show up as myself so you can feel comfortable showing up as yourself too. You deserve a space where you can put down the pressure you have been carrying and focus on feeling grounded, supported, and hopeful. I am here to help you get there.

As a Clinical Social Worker, her advanced credentials in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Mental Emotional Release® (MER), and Hypnosis mark her as a leading Change Navigator™, especially for college students navigating significant life transitions.

Stacy delves deep, identifying old mindsets and behaviors, which often take root during early years, and can impact academic performance and emotional wellbeing. Her approach is a harmonious fusion of science and empathy. By combining the communication skills of NLP, the emotional release of MER, and the transformative states of Hypnosis, Stacy offers students a holistic therapeutic journey. While she employs time-tested methods, she also ensures her strategies remain current and relatable. Many of the students Stacy connects with share common experiences: they are navigating the challenges of young adulthood, adjusting to college life, and aiming to define their future paths. She sees therapy, coaching, and consulting as interlinked, allowing her to tailor her interventions to each student's unique story. Stacy believes in collaboration; students set their course, and she serves as their trusted guide. Together, they work to ensure that every student embarks on a journey of discovery, resilience, and positive transformation.
