Minecraft Therapy 

A safe, creative space for emotional growth inside the world your child already loves.

If your child already plays Minecraft, you’ve probably seen how it captures their imagination, calms their mind, and gives them room to explore. With TherapyCraft, we use that same digital space, safely and intentionally, as a powerful therapeutic environment guided by a licensed clinician.

TherapyCraft is designed
specifically for:

  • Kids and teens who connect better through play than traditional talk therapy
  • Families looking for an engaging, private, and tech-accessible therapy option
  • Console, tablet, and PC players using Minecraft Bedrock Edition

How Minecraft Therapy Works

In a TherapyCraft session, your child connects to a secure, private Minecraft world, accessible only to them and their therapist. Inside that world, we create opportunities for:

Emotional expression through storytelling and building

Co-regulation and stress relief in a familiar environment

Rapport-building through collaborative exploration

Trauma-informed play with calming structure and safety tools

Is It Safe and Private?

Yes! We’ve built TherapyCraft from the ground up with privacy and emotional safety in mind.

  • Only one child has access to the Minecraft world at a time
  • No other players can join, observe, or communicate
  • Sessions are guided and monitored by a therapist
  • All sensitive information is handled outside of Minecraft using secure, HIPAA-compliant tools

What Does It Cost?

If you already have Minecraft Bedrock Edition, there is no cost to getting setup to participate in TherapyCraft. Therapy session fees vary by therapist and location. Book a free consultation to learn more.

Hi, I'm Ashley Jangro, Therapist,  Life Coach, and Founder of TherapyCraft

As a therapist and life coach, I love working with kids and teens to decrease anxiety and depression, increase confidence and social awareness, and enhance long term mental wellness. 

As an avid Minecraft player, I love being able to use Minecraft as a therapeutic tool to help kids and teens open up and talk more freely. 

I developed TherapyCraft to use with both teens and kids who struggle with anxiety, who may or may not be neurodiverse, and who may not resonate with traditional talk therapy. 

I look forward to seeing if TherapyCraft is a good fit for your child.
