About Us

Where Gaming Meets Growth

Experience Points was created for people who feel most at home in the worlds they play.

We use gaming as a foundation for growth, confidence, emotional regulation, and connection. For some, that means recreational gaming in a structured and positive environment. For others, it means therapeutic support that integrates familiar elements like leveling up, skill building, and cooperative play into meaningful mental health work.

Our approach meets youth and gamers where they already are. Instead of separating identity from growth, we build on it. Each experience is personalized, interactive, and designed to feel engaging and purposeful.

At Experience Pts, progress is measured by resilience, self awareness, and the skills you gain along the way.

Every player has a story. We are here to help you build yours.

Why Gaming? Because It’s More Than Just Play.

At Experience Points, we see games as powerful tools—not just for entertainment, but for education, connection, and healing. Whether it’s tabletop roleplaying, video games, or digital storytelling, these immersive experiences can spark conversations, build empathy, and strengthen resilience. That’s why we’ve designed a unique, gamified approach to mental health that feels approachable, rewarding, and even fun. From personalized support plans to skill-building groups and community events, everything we do is built around the idea that mental wellness should be engaging, not intimidating. This isn’t therapy as usual—it’s therapy leveled up.

Our Mission

Experience Points is a 501c3 Mental Health Non-Profit Organization focused on connecting mental health knowledge with a passion for gaming. We are dedicated to the mission of reducing stigma surrounding both mental health needs and the gaming community by educating individuals, families, and communities. In this way we can leverage the vast potential of gaming to do good, while providing quality education and services to the community.

The Experience Points team envisions a future where mental health care is proactive, engaging, and accessible to all. Our innovative approach integrates the therapeutic potential of the gaming community into a comprehensive prevention-focused treatment model. We aim to empower individuals to build resilience, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and maintain their mental well-being through the immersive and interactive medium of gaming. By intervening early and providing support before issues escalate, we strive to foster a community where mental health is prioritized, and everyone can lead a balanced, fulfilling life.

Our Vision

Our Purpose

The purpose of this program is to introduce a mental health and wellness initiative to the community. Traditional community mental health services have not fully addressed the complex needs of our communities. This is particularly recognized among the school-aged population. Additionally, mental health services are notoriously challenging to approach for those who are unfamiliar.

This program would bring mental health services to our community through a uniquely palatable approach. Built into this program is a triage and assessment component that would allow us to identify problem areas and target unique treatment goals. Additionally, the program is designed to incentivize the treatment process. Motivation for completing mental health goals has been notoriously challenging. This program will increase the likelihood of treatment compliance and success.

Experience Points, as an organization, is rooted in the professional definition of counseling according to the American Counseling Association. We resonate with the aspects of our professional identity that speak to the relationship between counselor and client as being central to achieving mental health and wellness goals. Our core values are as follows:

Growth
Mindfulness
Connections
Community Focus
Resilience
Employee Well-Being
Cultural Awareness

Our Core Values

Gamify Mental Health Support

We turn therapy into a world worth exploring, using games to build personalized mental health experiences through meaningful, interactive, immersive play that feel familiar and motivating for youth, gamers, and those seeking a new approach.

Prevent Before It Escalates

Experience Points focuses on early intervention, giving people the tools and support they need before challenges grow overwhelming. We make prevention practical, accessible, and engaging so individuals can take action earlier and build healthier habits over time.

Bridging the Gap

Access should not be a privilege. We are creating an inviting space where mental health support feels approachable, community driven, and designed for those who often fall through the cracks, especially individuals in underserved or overlooked communities.

Build Resilient Communities

Through education, group support, and game based growth, we help individuals build emotional skills, reduce stigma, and strengthen connections. Our goal is to create lasting impact that empowers people to support themselves and uplift those around them.
