“Top-notch resource. For perspective, I am a dual licensed clinical mental health and school counselor; I currently work clinically. This game is just so incredibly BALANCED. Some therapy games feel like we’re attacking the kids with prompts to talk about trauma/difficult topics, or are so rigid there’s no room for authenticity. This download is neither of those things. It’s superb. I’d have paid double for it.”
