Are you struggling with trauma, depression, or anxiety? These conditions are treatable. With effective EMDR therapy, we can alleviate your pain and foster transformative growth. As your therapist, I’ll encourage you to step beyond your comfort zone and focus on true healing—what EMDR therapists call “adaptive resolution.” Together, we’ll design a structured treatment plan with a clear beginning, middle, and end to achieve meaningful and lasting change. My EMDR expertise has helped many clients, including those who once believed their issues were untreatable.

I view counseling as walking down the hallway of life and trying to close the doors to one's past. As one walks down the hallway, one must walk into each room and decide what to hold on to and what to let go of. I understands that seeking therapy can be really difficult and enjoys using humor when appropriate. I am compassionate therapist at times but can be blunt. I do not want to waste your time or money therefore I will work hard with you to come up with a treatment plan that works best. My background includes working on a National Burn unit, ICU, ER, Psychiatric hospital, and managing a residential group home.

Finding the right therapist is hard—harder than it ought to be. Especially when you’re already struggling. But it’s essential. The person of the therapist, their fit for you, and the therapeutic relationship are all more important to successful therapy than any degree, license, orientation, or even years of experience. Making the call and actually doing therapy is even harder—but worth it. Psychotherapy works. It can be one of the most significant and transformative experiences of your life. It's also a big investment of time, money and effort. I honor your courage and support your commitment to yourself to even consider it.

Brian Davis LPC My approach to therapy can be summarized as being focused on the therapeutic relationship. warm, direct, and collaborative. As the therapeutic relationship grows, I at times challenge clients to grow; however, I believe communication should be bidirectional, and I insist on clients being allowed to challenge me back and have a voice on where we take treatment. In session, I often do attachment work which often powerfully helps clients to understand how their histories and relationships within their families of origin may be impact how they presently relate to themselves and others.

Substances, like alcohol, and behaviors like gambling, can be difficult to cut down or stop.
Having almost 30 years of studying and practicing gives experience to a wide array of training and individuals. There are not many conditions or situations foreign to me. Working in rural areas, before telehealth, required much additional training as there were often not other providers to refer to. This resulted in additional licenses and certifications.

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.
