Anastasia Mercado GameTalk Therapy

Welcome to GameTalk Therapy, LLC, where we bridge the gap between mental health and gaming. I am Anastasia Mercado, and my practice is dedicated to creating a supportive, inclusive space where therapists and gamers alike can thrive. Whether you are a lifelong gamer or simply looking for a collaborative, engaging approach to your mental health journey, we offer individual therapy and specialized support groups tailored to your needs. While our practice is gaming-informed, including video games in our sessions is optional; my primary goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care that meets you where you are.

I integrate accessible virtual games—such as Battleship, Uno, Chess, Connect 4, and other classic board games—into our sessions to create a low-stress environment that facilitates emotional processing. If you are interested in incorporating a gaming-informed approach into your individual therapy or would like to join one of our specialized support groups, please reach out, and I will connect you with the GameTalk Therapy team to get started.

In our first session, we will focus on understanding your unique needs and defining your personal goals for therapy. This initial meeting involves completing intake questions and standardized assessments, which help us establish a comprehensive baseline to guide your care and track your progress moving forward.
