Are you dealing with anxiety, depression, or life transitions? When meeting these challenges, we might struggle to understand and manage our emotions or to gain clarity in our personal and professional lives. My approach to helping clients work through these concerns is collaborative, supportive, and empathic. With my clients, through exploration and practical problem-solving, we develop effective coping strategies and explore their feelings and experiences. We all strive for a balanced and fulfilling life; and we do not have to do it alone.

In my view, therapy is all about developing a healthy relationship with yourself and therefore with others. It includes having a healthy connection with your therapist. For over 20 years I have made it my mission to help people who struggle with the things that hold them back from living happy, valuable, and productive lives. In addition to the treatment of addiction & co-occurring mood disorders, my practice includes the particular challenges of the divorced single parent, as well as addressing individual dilemmas in the workplace. I am recognized for my understanding of treatment options & I gladly serve as a resource.

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.
