Games For Mental Health

Gaming Approaches Towards Education, LLC (GATE) is a mental health service provider in Piscataway, NJ. Our therapists take a novel approach toward helping individuals and families develop healthy thoughts, behaviors, life skills, and emotions. The GATE method mixes cognitive behavioral therapy with the latest play therapy techniques and autism play to build an individualized therapy plan tailored to you and your family’s needs.

The licensed therapists at GATE use board games, storytelling, and role-playing to develop life skills, coping skills and deal with trauma. It is our belief that play evolved as a behavior trait to help animals learn social skills, simulate challenges they might encounter, and develop the necessary strategies for dealing with them. Games are crucial for helping to build our social and cognitive maps of the world in which we interact. Therefore, play can help us deal with the internal and external challenges that modern life places before us.

Our therapists in Piscataway, NJ, offer both individual therapy and group therapy. GATE specializes in developing and administering treatment plans 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 succeed!
