ThinkPsych Games Help Kids and Adults Open Up, Build Lifelong Skills, and Have a Great Time!
Lumberton, NJ (January 20, 2026) – Getting children to say more than “fine” when asked how they are doing – or how school was that day – can be a challenge (just ask any parent.) So imagine how much of a challenge it must be for both child psychologists and children to take part in therapy sessions. Psychological evaluation requires patience from the therapist, and a willingness to open up from the patient. Through their joint practice, Dr. Anton Shcherbakov and Dr. Rebecca Schulman discovered an excellent strategy to get kids talking – playing games. And thus, ThinkPsych was born!
In just a few short years, ThinkPsych has researched and developed 19 different products that focus on mental, emotional and social health, also known as “MESH”, with 12 more in development for a 2026 launch. The MESH movement is continually growing in the toy space and ThinkPsych’s offerings make for sterling examples of products in this vein. Developed organically out of Dr. Anton and Dr. Rebecca’s psychology practice and informed by their techniques from real therapy sessions with kids, ThinkPsych products combine fun mechanics and edifying content all into one package.
What if the techniques for striking up meaningful conversation weren’t so mysterious? Chat Chains ($24.99 | Ages 8+ | 2-8 Players) is designed as a social skills game for kids and teens, helping players develop better conversation skills through 150 engaging topics. Chat Chains has been adapted into a professional counseling tool used by thousands of therapists and educators. Whether used in the home with families, or at school with counselors, kids may be more likely to let their walls down while playing a fun game! Chat Chains was developed with the intent to help neurodivergent children as well, including children with autism, ADHD, or social anxiety. The game is also right at home with speech and occupational therapy sessions thanks to its varying levels of complexity and difficulty, allowing you to tailor each child’s experience and aim for success. And as part of its bona fides, it was recognized as a winner of the 2022 Family Choice Award and Creative Child Game of the Year!
Nothing beats truly diving into a discussion topic, getting blissfully lost in conversation. ThinkPsych’s Dive In ($24.99 | Ages 6+ | 2+ Players) stimulates thought-provoking discussions with over 400 unique and unexpected questions, fostering deeper connections among players of all ages. Use the faces of the conversation cubes to determine the course of conversation through random rolls. If it lands on the “Dive In” side, you can draw a card to go even deeper. Dive In’s endless variety of conversation starters make it an ideal game for parties, game nights or any other gathering. Designed for players ages 6 and up, Dive In is versatile enough for all kids, teens, and adults to come together, engage, express themselves, and learn from one another – creating moments of laughter, all while strengthening relationships.
Learning about emotions through a unique, interactive tool can make the lesson feel not like a lesson at all! In Roll With It ($29.99 | Ages 5-12), each roll of the dice set provides coping strategies developed by Drs. Anton and Rebecca based on specific emotions – anger, anxiety, sadness and boredom. The game includes feeling identification cards, a mindful mat, write & draw board, stress ball, boredom busters cards, and a comprehensive parent guide. The robust selection of tools makes Roll With It perfect for play therapy and daily emotional support. Over 50 research-backed coping skills are included in the kit, specifically designed for children ages 5-12. The durable construction and portable design make it perfect for taking on the go and using both at home and in clinical settings. More than just a calm down kit – this social emotional learning system is recommended by Dr. Rebecca and Dr. Anton to help children identify feelings, develop coping strategies, and build emotional resilience that lasts a lifetime.
Golden Memories ($24.99 | For Seniors, Dementia and Alzheimer’s support) is a conversation deck developed from the evidence-based practice of reminiscence therapy. These memory cards for seniors endeavor to improve mood, increase social engagement, and support cognitive function through interactive storytelling. Every conversation-starter card is framed to evoke positive memories and prompt seniors to share anecdotes from their long and rich lives. Ideal for one-on-one sessions, family gatherings, senior activity groups, or memory care facilities – these activity cards adapt to any setting and group size. Golden Memories comes with durable, large-print cards and is packaged in a sturdy box for lasting enjoyment and convenient storage.
