Gambling Therapists in Connecticut

I am a dedicated and passionate LCSW, LADC, ICGC-I in the state of Connecticut. I specialize in providing care for adults over the age of 18 years old, treating gambling disorder, substance use/addiction, mood disorders, and trauma, as well as addressing various life stressors and challenges.

I am PhD in Clinical Psychology and I am offering my psychological and coaching services (life, psychology and recovery coaching) for clients who want to reach a higher level of satisfaction or learning and to bring greater fulfillment in life. I am using the holistic and integrative approach, considering the whole person and the whole situation. My clients enjoy the vitality and well-being that results from their positive lifestyle changes, and are motivated to continue this process throughout their lives. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and I provide culturally appropriate services to the diversity of Latino/a community.

Accepting new clients. Recognizing that you need help is the first step towards making positive changes in your life, but this is often the most difficult part on the path to recovery. Sometimes all we need is someone willing to walk with us. My approach for each client depends on what their current goals are and figuring out the best way to achieve them together.

Though change may be difficult, I believe everyone is capable of making positive changes in their life. It is a matter of finding the right direction and guidance to getting there. I am a licensed mental health counselor and certified alcohol and substance abuse counselor with 10 years of experience helping clients to achieve recovery and improve their overall quality of life. My primary focus includes treatment for people who are experiencing substance abuse, gambling, depression, and anxiety issues. The goal of therapy is to better understand how your emotions, thinking and behavior are impacting your life.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed with stress, anxiety, depression, attention deficit, outbursts of anger, thoughts about the past (regret, remorse, traumatic experiences), thoughts about the future (fear, anxiety, catastrophizing 'what if' scenarios), insomnia, lack of purpose, past relationship experiences impacting present relationships, self-sabotage, and general sense of meaninglessness. The work I do is collaborative and the results are real. As a person in personal recovery for over 24 years and a Iraq war infantry-combat veteran, I have lived experience maintaining sobriety while making strategic adjustments.

It can be hard to reach out for help, especially if you are struggling or have felt unheard; but taking the first step and coming to therapy is a gift to yourself. I am a compassionate listener who will help you achieve the goals and changes that you are looking for, without judgment. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, or stressful relationships, I will support you in your journey towards a happier life. In therapy, you can learn to find your strengths, understand yourself better, honor your lived experiences and needs, and live a more balanced and empowered life.

I've been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 30 years. I have been clinical director of mental health facilities and on the faculty of Tufts University School of Medicine. I welcome clients 14 years of age and older -- individuals and couples, and offer you a warm personal approach focusing on your specific needs. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" model of practice or that therapy should be "a way of life." Therapy begins with a careful assessment and plan. If what we are doing isn't working for you, we change it.
