I believe human potential is limitless. That said, we are often held back by our own self-limiting beliefs, and the resulting patterns of behavior can hinder personal growth. Self-defeating beliefs and narratives are frequently accompanied by a variety of negative responses, such as; anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, etc. As Henry Ford famously said, “Whether you believe you can or believe you can't...you're right". Together we will help you realize the former. I work with clients holistically, utilizing EMDR, CBT, mindfulness and other modalities, I am also able to provide Christian counseling when requested.

Nobody begins their journey with gambling or substance use intending to develop an addiction. Initially, it serves as an enjoyable distraction, a temporary respite from life’s hardships. However, over time, gambling, drugs, and alcohol become convenient remedies for various problems such as trauma, fear, feelings of abandonment, domestic violence, low self-esteem, anger, anxiety, depression, codependency, and more. The unfortunate reality is that these addictions, along with other emotional issues, can devastate lives and families. Yet, addiction doesn’t have to dictate one’s life. There are healthier alternatives available!

Gambling Therapists

How do gambling rehabilitation programs work?

There are both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs. However, for some individuals, an outpatient facility may not offer enough hands-on care, and for other individuals, an inpatient facility may be too much. Both types of care have knowledgeable health professionals including physicians (in the case of residential programs), psychologists, counselors, psychotherapists, and recovered mentors.

How do gambling 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Abstinence and maintenance are key for 12-step gambling disorder programs. Individuals in a 12-step group rely on each other for support and accountability. In addition, there is often a spiritual element to these programs, whereby belief in a higher power can help the individual overcome their tendencies. If an individual genuinely wants to cease gambling, attending a 12-step program along with regular psychotherapy can be highly effective.

How long does therapy take for gambling disorder?

Recovering from gambling disorder takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but a person can see change if they stick with therapy and if they have the will and desire to stop. Treatment for gambling disorder requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers, as well as the development of coping skills. Making lifestyle changes is also important, such as staying away from lotteries, online gambling, and casinos.

Is relapse a problem for those with a gambling disorder?

Gambling disorder is often chronic and can be life-long; therefore relapse may present a problem for some individuals. But effective treatment can bring a person’s life under control. To remain healthy and on track, the individual may need to regularly check in with their support group or psychotherapist. Frequently refreshing their tools of recovery can be helpful.
