Gaming & Teen Mental Health: A Parent and Therapist Perspective

As both a mental health provider and a parent, I get asked about gaming often. The truth is, gaming isn’t automatically good or bad — it’s about balance.

For many teens, gaming can help them decompress, connect with friends, and build problem-solving skills. It can even function as a form of self-care. But when gaming starts replacing sleep, school responsibilities, movement, or real-world connection, it may begin to impact mental health.

One shift that can help families: move from control to partnership.

Be curious about the games your teen enjoys and work together to create healthy boundaries.

Helpful strategies for families:

• Set clear expectations around school, sleep, and responsibilities
• Create tech-free times (before bed, during the school week, or during family time)
• Encourage balance with movement, outdoor time, and offline social connection

🔹 Helpful reminders for parents and teens:

• Consider skipping chat features or chat rooms when possible
• Use privacy settings and parental controls
• If someone contacts your teen online, tell a trusted adult right away
• Practice simple scripts to exit uncomfortable online situations
• Remember not everyone online is who they say they are

Safety tip: Stay aware of gaming platforms with higher safety risks. There are many that have recently made headlines, so parents should stay informed and lean toward games that offer strong safety features and manageable parental controls.

Every family is different. Family dynamics and neurodiversity can influence how our brains manage stimulation and balance with gaming.

If your family could use support with wellness, parenting strategies, boundary setting, or finding balance, our therapists are here to help.

Building Healthy Connections & Friendships for Teen Girls 💚

Friendships during the teen years play a powerful role in shaping confidence, identity, and emotional wellbeing. Learning what healthy friendships look and feel like is an important life skill for teen girls—and an important conversation for parents to have with them.

Healthy friendships are built on mutual respect, trust, and kindness. They should feel supportive, safe, and uplifting—not confusing, competitive, or hurtful.
Here are a few ways teen girls (and parents) can recognize healthy relationships:

💚 How do you feel in the friendship?
Healthy friendships leave you feeling valued, respected, and comfortable being yourself—not anxious, judged, or afraid to disagree.

💚 How do you treat each other?
Healthy friends listen, include one another, respect boundaries, and celebrate each other’s successes.

💚 Is there balance?
Strong friendships involve give and take, care for each other’s feelings, and the ability to repair misunderstandings.

💚 Can you set boundaries?
Being able to say “no,” express feelings, and talk through conflict respectfully is an important part of healthy friendships.

Teen girls can also ask themselves:

• Do I feel supported and respected?
• Can I be myself around this person?
• Do I feel better or worse about myself after spending time together?

We understand how complex friendships and social dynamics can be during the teen years. If your teen is struggling with friendships and could benefit from additional support or guidance, we are here to help. Our providers at PLAE often help teens navigate social dynamics and can be a supportive, neutral resource for both teens and parents.

If we can be of support, reach out to us at www.plaetherapy.com 💚

💚🌿 We loved welcoming Mountain West Small Business Finance to PLAE this morning, it was fun to have Danielle Lower, Vice President of Community & Economic Development, who joined us with her absolutely darling grandchild to explore our space, with their camera crew and see a little more about all that we do here.

It was fun reflecting on how we grew in our time in their pitch workshops. We learned so much, felt genuinely invested in, and continue to carry those lessons forward in meaningful ways.

A portion of the grant we received from has allowed us to invest directly back into our clinicians and our community.

Because of this support, all of our licensed providers will be participating in a two-part training this upcoming Friday, focused on:
• Su***de Prevention
• Navigating Legal & Ethical Issues

Trainings like these strengthen the entire ecosystem of care. When clinicians are well-supported and deeply informed, that care extends outward—touching children, teens, families, schools, and the broader systems our clients move through every day.

This kind of investment allows us to show up more thoughtfully, more safely, and with greater depth—especially for the children, adolescents and teenagers we are honored to welcome to PLAE.

This is the kind of widespread, community-centered impact that truly elevates mental health care, and we are so grateful 💚🌿

Stay tuned for some fun clips and moments from this morning!

Self-Acceptance Sound Bath for All Ages

With the month often centered around love approaching, we invite kids and teens to pause and turn some of that care inward. This Self-Acceptance Sound Bath is a warm, calming experience designed to help young people slow down, relax, and connect with themselves in a meaningful and supportive way.

Facilitated by Melanie D. Davis, LCMHC, alongside Edna Ramos, Sound Bowl Instrument Facilitator, this gentle session uses soothing sound, guided relaxation, and intentional rest to support emotional regulation, mindfulness, and self-acceptance. Participants will be encouraged to notice their thoughts and feelings without judgment and to practice kindness toward themselves, just as they are.

This all-ages event is especially fitting during a season focused on self-love, offering tools that help build self-awareness, inner calm, and emotional care that can be carried beyond the session and into everyday life.

Each guest will receive a Valentine gift as a thoughtful reminder to continue practicing self-love, self-acceptance, and caring for their emotional well-being.

Sensory & Self-Regulation Play: Cozy Crafts for Home

Looking for a fun, creative way to connect with your littles in the last days of winter break? Here’s one we loved revisiting and sharing again together—Kool-Aid Play-Doh 🌈

This was a childhood favorite I used to make with my mom (very 80s style 💫). She later made it with my own children when they were little, and this winter break we had so much fun making it again altogether.

Why we love it:
• Bright colors + fruity scents
• Simple, affordable ingredients
• Kid-friendly and customizable
• A beautiful sensory and regulation activity

Our simple recipe:
• 2½ cups flour
• ½ cup salt
• 3 Kool-Aid packets
• 2 cups boiling water (adult step)
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil

How to make it:
Mix flour, salt, and Kool-Aid in a large bowl. Stir in oil and slowly add boiling water while mixing. Knead dough until smooth.

💚 Why it matters:
Sensory play supports self-regulation and emotional expression. The warmth of the Play-Doh as it comes together is deeply comforting and soothing, helping kids feel grounded while creating a beautiful moment of connection as they bring all the pieces together.

Simple. Sensory. Meaningful. 🌿💚

Follow-up from yesterday 💚

Sharing our little homemade Celebration Cake was such a joy. Hearing what everyone felt proud of—and naming their accomplishments—was powerful. Our cake could barely hold all the reflections. Every step became an opportunity to connect, slow down, and bring it all together.

If you made a Celebration Cake, we would love to see it ✨

✨ Ways to Celebrate Our Wins

A confidence-building winter break activity for kids

As the new year begins, we often rush into goals and resolutions. Taking time to reflect on the year behind us is just as important—especially for children.

The 2025 Celebration Cake helps kids recognize their growth, resilience, and accomplishments—big and small.

How it works:
• Make and decorate a cake 🍰 together
(Cupcakes, brownies, or even fruit work too 🌿)
• Everyone reflects on something they’re proud of from 2025
• Swipe left to see the template we created (print if you’d like)
• Write your reflection, tape it to a skewer so it stands tall
• Share it out loud and place it into the cake

The result:
A cake filled with visible reminders of effort, growth, resilience, and love 💚

Why this matters:
Celebrating wins builds self-esteem, emotional awareness, and connection. Helping children notice what they’ve done well is just as meaningful as setting goals for what’s next.

We’ll be sharing our 2025 Celebration Cake tomorrow—but wanted to offer this now in case you’d like to create one with your little ones.

✨ Ways to Celebrate Our Wins: A Confidence-Building Winter Break Activity for Kids ✨

As the new year begins, we often rush into goals and resolutions. But taking time to reflect on the year that’s ending is just as important—especially for children.

The 2025 Celebration Cake is a fun, meaningful way to help kids recognize their strengths, growth, and accomplishments—big and small.

How it works:
• Make and decorate a cake 🍰 together (or use cupcakes, brownies, or even fruit—anything works 🌿)
• Everyone reflects on something they’re proud of from 2025
• Swipe left to see the template we created—cut it out if you’d like to print the same one we used
• Write your reflection down, tape it to a skewer so it sits high, and share it out loud
• Place the skewer into the cake to complete your Celebration Cake

We found a non-GMO cake mix at Whole Foods to keep it friendly along with dye-free sprinkles, but any version is perfect.

The result is a cake filled with visible reminders of resilience, effort, and love.

💚 Why this matters:
Celebrating wins builds self-esteem, emotional awareness, and connection. Helping children recognize their successes is just as valuable as setting goals for what’s ahead.

We’ll be sharing our 2025 Celebration Cake tomorrow, but wanted to share this now in case you’d like to create your own with your little ones.
