What Is Therapeutic Gaming?
Therapeutic gaming is psychotherapy that uses online games as a therapeutic medium, not entertainment.
Therapeutic gaming is a form of psychotherapy that uses online games as a therapeutic medium, not entertainment. Sessions are led by a licensed clinician and guided by clear clinical goals.
Games are selected intentionally to support therapeutic outcomes such as:
- Communication and collaboration
- Emotional awareness and regulation
- Frustration tolerance and problem-solving
- Identity exploration and confidence-building
- Social engagement and connection
The game becomes a shared environment where therapeutic work can happen in real time.
We support a broad range of games
