Games for Teens - Counseling Games for Adolescents

Counseling teens can be challenging, as they tend to have huge emotions and face complex challenges. Some teens enjoy talk therapy, while others do not respond well to it. Games can be helpful in counseling for several reasons, including reducing resistance, helping to establish rapport, allowing for deeper discussion on topics they may not freely discuss, and helping to target specific issues.
