Where Therapy Meets Storytelling, Strategy, and Self-Discovery

At Mindful Mage Counselling, therapy isn't just talking — it's a quest.

Begin your quest. Therapy that speaks your language.

Here, you’re not a diagnosis or a case file — you’re a character in development, navigating a world full of emotional encounters, identity puzzles, and relational boss fights. Based in Calgary, Alberta, I deliver counselling in-person on Saturdays or virtually across Alberta on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Whether you're overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck in a loop, or seeking clarity on who you are and what you're becoming, this is a space where narrative, mindfulness, and meaning converge to help you level up from the inside out.

What Makes Mindful Mage Different?

Therapeutically Applied Role-Playing Games (TA-RPGs)

  • Step into a world where therapy takes the form of structured campaigns, character arcs, and emotional role-play. TA-RPGs are used to explore identity, regulate emotions, and rehearse real-life scenarios in a creative, supportive space.

Narrative & Meaning-Based Therapy

  • Your past isn’t just trauma — it’s lore. Together we unpack the stories you’ve internalized and co-author new ones grounded in agency, insight, and growth.

CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness-Based Skills

  • Learn real-world emotional tools — think of it as crafting your mental loadout. Develop strategies to reduce anxiety, manage moods, and interrupt unhelpful loops.

Gaming-Integrated & Pop Culture-Informed

  • We use fantasy, anime, video games, comics, and media you already love to make therapy accessible. Whether it’s a panic attack framed as a “boss fight” or social anxiety explained through “status effects,” we speak your language.

Indigenous-Informed & Holistic

  • Our practice is grounded in Two-Eyed Seeing — a framework that weaves together Western psychology and Indigenous worldviews to support whole-person healing and spiritual integration.

Who We Work With

  • Neurodivergent teens and adults (ADHD, ASD, AuDHD) who need structured, affirming therapy.

  • Couples navigating disconnection, communication, or identity shifts.

  • Gamers, anime fans, and narrative nerds looking for therapy that gets it.

  • Adults burned out by hustle culture, craving peace and purpose.

  • Gender-diverse and LGBTQ+ clients seeking safe, informed care.

  • Meaning-seekers facing existential questions or identity confusion.

Whether you’re a Cleric in crisis, a Rogue wrestling with trust, or a tired Scholar ready for transformation — there’s room in our party for you.

Fox Mori, RTC — Your Guide, Not Your Guru

Therapist. Educator. Narrative nerd.
Trained in CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy.
Fluent in geek culture, emotional insight, and the art of turning chaos into clarity.

I’ve lived in the Arctic, taught abroad, walked with Elders, and have played more role-playing games than I can count. My clients come to me not just for strategies — but for story-based, culturally respectful, and emotionally resonant therapy.

“You’re not broken. You’re becoming.”

Start Your Quest

Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or cold.
Here, it can feel like character creation — or the first page of a new campaign.

You don’t need to be in crisis to begin.
Just curious. Just ready. Just done with feeling stuck.

What would your questline look like if you stopped playing support in your own life?
