Yes, you read that right - Minecraft as a therapy tool!
We love using Minecraft in sessions to build skills and learn about big feelings. Help your child enhance, learn, and practice social skills, frustration tolerance, problem solving, and self-exploration in our Minecraft therapy group!

Two amazing opportunities to join us
The Minecraft world acts as a safe space to practice various skills when struggles arise that directly correlate to struggles experienced in everyday life. The skills practiced in the game can then be translated into outside world skills. Gaming therapy groups also offer the unique opportunity to work together with like-minded
individuals to achieve a therapeutic goal while encouraging social connection. The Minecraft server used in the group is a safe, secure, fun, space led by a qualified clinician.
We've got you covered
Marcy began utilizing gaming in therapy during 2020 at the beginning of COVID. With so many kids, teens, (and adults) becoming interested in gaming especially during this time, Marcy has found gaming therapy to be especially effective. She continued to obtain training to ensure competence in using gaming therapy and is part of a growing online network of other clinicians also using this type of therapy.
The Minecraft Therapy is designed to utilize the popular game as a platform to enhance, learn, and practice
various skills including but not limited to:
- Social Skills
- Frustration Tolerance
- Problem Solving
- Communication
- Self-Exploration
- Planning
- Teamwork
