“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall” Nelson Mandela. I truly believe that anytime one asks for help, it takes strength and courage. Reality of daily stressors or change can sometimes feel overwhelming, but I believe that we all have the power within ourselves to overcome any obstacle. Reality can break you down, make you feel hopeless, helpless. I am here to show you the self-awareness, strength and confidence that we all need sometimes to conquer our fears and see hope for a brighter tomorrow.

You can develop and improve skills you need to live a more exciting and satisfying life; improve your relationships with significant others; and have a more rewarding career. Negative mood states get in the way of your best efforts, leaving you with low energy or little interest in things that were once important. You may be afraid or feel tired; as if things are turning out wrong; as if there is nothing you can do to make them right again. You can change! You can remember when things went well! You can be happy and experience good feelings again!

Welcome patients with Medicare Insurance I have morning appointments that are now open for you. Call 631-697-3232. Sometimes people need to talk to someone who can understand how they feel and give advice that can heal. I specialize in Anxiety Disorders and Depression. I had panic attacks, in my younger days and found ways to get over them. That led me after retirement as a teacher to go back to college to become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Being older, I believe helps me understand the issues that may come with aging. Young or old, everyone needs to talk to someone at some point.

Life can be challenging, and you don't have to figure it out on your own. Many factors shape who we are and how we feel, some of which we’re not even aware of. Therapy provides the opportunity to gain understanding of those things in a safe and supportive environment. I consider my part in your journey of self-discovery as a privilege. I understand seeking help is truly an act of courage, which I deeply appreciate and respect.

People often say, I don't know why I do that, referring to an unfavorable behavior. This is evidence of our unconscious. We are all products of our earliest emotional conditioning. That is fine, if your parents were wonderful, loving, and understanding. For the majority of people, there was some form of negligence and/or dysfunction that occurred due to the complexities of child rearing. We tend to push away what is good for us and seek what is familiar. Unconsciously, we will repeat negative relationship patterns unless addressed. We all are deserving and able to be the best version of ourselves.

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.
