Our Story

How It Works

Level Up Gaming Therapy combines live gaming‑based therapy sessions with a gamified wellness support app that prepares users before each session.

The Wellness Dashboard

Your dashboard becomes your home base. It includes:

  • A personalized avatar

  • Mood tracking

  • XP progress and streaks

  • Achievements and milestones

  • Pre‑session check‑ins

  • Wellness quests

It’s designed to help you reflect, prepare, and feel emotionally ready before meeting with your therapist.

Therapy Through Games and Voice Chat

During live sessions, users and therapists connect through game chat via microphone while playing a video game together. This creates a relaxed, natural environment where conversation flows more easily.

This format supports:

  • Adolescents who open up more during shared activities

  • Adults who prefer a collaborative, less formal setting

  • Parents who want a supportive, engaging approach for themselves or their children

Explore how game‑based therapy supports emotional growth.

The Pre‑Session Experience

Before entering the shared gaming space, users complete a short, supportive check‑in guided by their avatar. This helps them reflect on mood, stress, and readiness. It also gives therapists meaningful context so sessions begin with clarity and connection.

Learn how the pre‑session check‑in strengthens the therapeutic relationship.

Why Voice‑Chat Gaming Works

Talking while playing a game can make difficult conversations feel easier. The shared activity creates a sense of partnership rather than pressure.

This approach helps:

  • Teens express themselves without feeling “on the spot”

  • Adults process emotions while staying grounded in the moment

  • Parents engage in therapy in a way that feels approachable and familiar

The game becomes a bridge—supporting communication, trust, and emotional exploration.
