TherapyCraft for Parents
Is your teen resistant to traditional therapy? Minecraft therapy might be the bridge you've been looking for.
Does This Sound Like Your Child?
"I Don't Want to Go"
Therapy feels scary, boring, or pointless to them
Lives in Digital Worlds
Spends hours on Minecraft, Roblox, or other games
Won't Open Up
"Fine" and "I don't know" are their favorite responses
What if Therapy Felt Like Playing Their Favorite Game?
TherapyCraft uses Minecraft to create a safe, comfortable space where kids naturally open up
Why Minecraft Works for Therapy:
- ✓They're already comfortable there: No scary therapy office
- ✓They become the expert: Teaching the therapist builds confidence
- ✓Natural metaphors emerge: Building walls = discussing boundaries
- ✓Side-by-side feels safer: Less pressure than direct eye contact
What Parents Tell Me
"For the first time ever, my son asked when his next therapy appointment is. He actually looks forward to going now."

Meet Ashley Jangro, LPCC
I'm a licensed professional clinical counselor and certified life coach in Colorado. I specialize in working with kids and teens who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.
I started incorporating Minecraft into my practice when I realized how much more comfortable and engaged my young clients became when we "played" together rather than just talked.
Every child deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported-sometimes that happens best in the worlds they already love.

Common Parent Questions
Is this real therapy or just playing games?
This is legitimate, evidence-based therapy that uses Minecraft as a therapeutic tool. Sessions have clear therapeutic goals and are documented just like traditional therapy.
What if my child doesn't play Minecraft?
No problem! Many of my clients learn Minecraft during our sessions. The learning process itself can be therapeutic and confidence-building.
How is this different from just playing Minecraft?
I use specific therapeutic techniques, guided conversations, and purposeful activities within Minecraft. Every session has therapeutic objectives and clinical documentation.
Is this covered by insurance?
Yes, Minecraft therapy sessions can be billed to insurance just like traditional therapy sessions. I provide all necessary documentation and codes.
What ages work best for this approach?
I primarily work with ages 10-18, though I've had success with younger children and young adults as well. It depends on the individual child's comfort with technology.
