In this episode, I speak with Monet Goldman. Monet is a licensed marriage and family therapist and he runs the Video Game Counseling Clinic in California. He is a “gamer-affirming” therapist – he pioneered the use of video games in the therapy room with clients to authentically connect, build socioemotional skills, and process their difficulties. Monet uses a collaborative approach to help kids and teens, parents and families build healthy gaming and screen habits.
