FOR PARENTS CONCERNED ABOUT GAMING
Has your teen disconnected from family to reconnect in a virtual world?
You've seen the shift: schoolwork is slipping, friendships are fading, and their mood depends on their in-game success. When gaming becomes an escape from reality, our virtual IOP helps teens log off and re-engage with their life.

Does this sound familiar?
Problematic gaming isn't just about screen time. It can look like...
Neglecting responsibilities
Grades are dropping, chores are ignored, and gaming takes priority over everything else.
Intense irritability
Becoming angry, anxious, or withdrawn when they are unable to play their game.
Disrupted sleep
Staying up all night to play, leading to exhaustion and difficulty functioning during the day.
Why a virtual IOP is effective for gaming-related issues
Gaming can be an escape from underlying issues like anxiety and depression. Our IOP addresses the root cause, not just the symptom of excessive screen time.
Addressing the "Why"
We help teens explore what they're avoiding in the real world. Our therapists work to uncover the social anxiety, depression, or lack of confidence that makes the virtual world feel safer and more rewarding.
Building real-world skills
The skills learned in games—problem-solving, teamwork, persistence—are valuable. We help teens translate those strengths into real-world achievements, building confidence and social skills outside of the game.
How our program helps teens re-engage with life
We provide the tools and support to help your teen build a healthy, balanced life that includes their interests without sacrificing their well-being.
Healthy coping strategies
We teach teens how to manage stress, anxiety, and boredom with skills that don't involve escaping into a screen, building their capacity to handle life's challenges.
Exploring new interests
Our program encourages teens to rediscover old hobbies or find new ones, helping them build an identity and sense of accomplishment outside of their gaming achievements.
Practicing social skills
Group therapy provides a safe, structured environment for teens to practice real-time social interaction, build empathy, and form connections with peers.
Reconnecting the family
Family therapy is crucial. We work with you to set healthy boundaries around technology and rebuild the lines of communication that may have been lost.
The power of peer connection
In our virtual IOP, your teen won't be alone. They'll join a community of peers who understand what they're going through—teens who also struggle to balance their gaming passion with real-world responsibilities.
Through daily group sessions, they'll build authentic friendships, practice social skills, and discover they're not the only one facing these challenges. Sometimes, the best support comes from someone who truly gets it.
