The Minecraft Social Skills Group has been a positive experience for my son. He looks forward to it every week. I love seeing him connect with others and to see his excitement. Victoria does an excellent job keeping the kids on track and working with them to navigate strong feelings appropriately. Im very glad we found this group as it is the first activity I signed him up for that he does not try to get out of going.

My son has participated in a Minecraft group therapy cohort and it has been so great to see him interact and grow in his ability to listen, wait, and game cooperatively. Victoria is great in this setting, helping the students to "be" with each other in a safe space, and helping them to problem-solve and troubleshoot together.

My 8-year-old with ADHD/ASD absolutely loves being part of this Minecraft Social Skills group! He is very comfortable with his peers and enjoys interacting and collaborating with them in their virtual world. Since he started about 7 months ago, he has become more adept at managing his emotions and flexible in adapting to change--which is huge for him--and seems happier at school, home, and out in the world. Victoria is very responsive to parent concerns and regularly communicates about how he's doing. I highly recommend this group for any kid who loves video games and could use some social guidance!

We cannot say enough positive things about this Minecraft cohort. Our 8-year-old has ADHD, Autism, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and finding a space that feels both safe and engaging has always been a challenge. This program exceeded our expectations in every way. The structure is thoughtfully designed with neurodivergent kids in mind. Ms. Victoria clearly understands how ADHD brains work, there’s enough freedom to explore and create, while still providing gentle guidance and consistency. Our child stayed engaged without feeling overwhelmed or pressured, which is something we rarely see. What truly stood out to us was the peer support aspect. The cohort fostered a kind, accepting environment where differences were normalized and respected. Our child felt understood, not singled out. They were able to practice social skills naturally through gameplay, collaboration, and problem-solving, all while building confidence and friendships at their own pace. For anxiety, this program was a game changer. The familiar and comforting Minecraft setting helped reduce stress, and the predictable routine made participation feel safe. We saw our child become more comfortable speaking up, taking initiative, and handling small frustrations ; skills that are incredibly hard to teach in traditional settings. As parents, it was incredibly reassuring to see our child genuinely excited to attend, proud of their creations, and happy to talk about the friends they made. This cohort is more than just a Minecraft group, it’s a supportive community that truly understands neurodivergent kids. We highly recommend this program to any family looking for a meaningful, well-run, and compassionate social experience for their child. We will be returning with our child, hopefully in the next cohort!

Working with Victoria truly changed my life for the better. She gave me behavioral and mindset tools on day one to help manage my symptoms. Victoria's homework and regular therapy helped me with accountability. We always say "What would Victoria say?" in our household!
