🎮 **Therapy, Meet Them Where They Play.**

For some children, adolescents, and adults, traditional therapy settings can make it difficult to engage, connect, or express themselves. Video games, however, can provide a familiar environment where people feel comfortable, connected, and more open to social-emotional learning.

At Groupworks, we believe psychology should be integrated into everyday life. That means meeting clients where they are—including within the video game environments they already enjoy.

**Dr. Carson Haynes** brings extensive experience facilitating group therapy within video game environments, grounded in current evidence-based research on video games as a medium for therapeutic intervention.

By combining therapeutic approaches with the games clients already enjoy, Dr. Haynes works to promote:

🎮 Engagement
🤝 Connection
🧠 Social-emotional learning
🌱 Meaningful therapeutic progress

**Sometimes, the best place to begin building connection is somewhere they already feel at home.**

Parenting Through the Teen Years 🧠💛

What if understanding your teen’s brain could change the way you approach the hardest moments?

**Connecting Brain Science to Everyday Parenting** is a 6-week virtual group designed to help primary caregivers move beyond power struggles and self-doubt while building a deeper, more resilient relationship with their teen.

Over 6 weeks, we’ll explore:

🧠 **Adolescent brain development** — understand the “why” behind your teen’s behavior
💬 **Better communication** — learn practical tools to reduce power struggles and strengthen connection
🌱 **Healthy expectations** — set developmentally appropriate boundaries that work for your family
🤝 **Stronger relationships** — build a supportive caregiver-teen bond with skills you can use every day

This interactive group combines current brain science with hands-on skill-building—all from the comfort of home.
