Games For Mental Health

Gaming Approaches Towards Education, LLC (GATE) is a mental health service provider in New Brunswick, NJ, that takes a novel approach toward helping individuals and families create healthy thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Our method blends cognitive behavioral therapy with the latest play therapy techniques and autism play and builds a personalized therapy plan to suit you and your family’s needs.

The therapists at GATE use board games, storytelling, and role-playing to help our clients develop life skills and coping skills and deal with trauma. We strongly believe that play as a behavior trait evolved to help animals develop group skills, simulate challenges they might encounter, and develop strategies for dealing with them. Games are crucial for developing our social and cognitive maps of the world around us and help us practice dealing with the internal and external challenges that modern life brings to us.

Our licensed counselors offer both individual therapy and group therapy, and we specialize in treatment for people diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety. Schedule an onboarding appointment with us, and together we will work toward fulfilling your individualized treatment plan and help you develop the life skills to thrive!

At GATE, our therapists in New Brunswick, NJ, are passionate about using a wide range of tools to help our patients develop the skills necessary for mental wellbeing. These include board games, storytelling, role-playing, sand trays, and expressive arts. We utilize these tools in all four types of therapy sessions we offer:

Autism play therapy is for children with autism. During this type of therapy service, our therapists help children communicate needs, strategize, cooperate, and interpret situations, including positive thoughts, behaviors, and emotions.

Group Therapy is a therapy session that’s done in a group. This allows you to receive support and encouragement from others who are experiencing similar mental health issues.
