Virtual Reality (VR) Therapy:
A Cutting-Edge Tool for Kids at Pathways For Change
At Pathways For Change, we’re excited to offer a new, immersive therapy option that reflects both innovation and our deep commitment to meeting children where they are. Our practice is now integrating Meta Quest Virtual Reality (VR) experiences into select therapy sessions to support emotional regulation, impulse control, focus, and attention-building skills.
VR technology is an exciting and effective way to engage children—especially those who may be less responsive to traditional therapy methods. In a world where kids are naturally drawn to interactive digital experiences, VR allows us to harness that engagement in a clinically meaningful way. With carefully selected therapeutic applications, our licensed therapists use VR as an interactive intervention tool to:
-
Practice calming strategies in real time
-
Strengthen executive functioning skills
-
Reinforce emotional self-awareness and control
-
Promote mindfulness and focus in fun, visual formats
This isn’t just screen time. It’s therapist-guided, evidence-informed engagement that encourages children to be more invested in their own progress. VR can make sessions more dynamic and enjoyable while still grounded in clinical goals.
Pathways For Change is one of the very few therapy practices in our region offering in-session virtual reality interventions. As leaders in innovation and child-centered care, we’re always exploring new ways to enhance connection, motivation, and growth. VR is one more tool in our expanding toolbox—thoughtfully used to amplify results and spark real change.
