I feel lost. No one understands me. Why am I so scared sometimes? Why am I sometimes not able to focus? Are you struggling with acceptance, bullies, disrespect, or discrimination because you identify as LBGTIQ+? Finding yourself in a meaningful and impactful way… Who are you? Is your child is uncontrollable… or too withdrawn…? Does your teen need help? Do they seem depressed, anxious, or experiencing abnormal behavior?

My typical client(s) is/are adults, coming to me as individuals or as couples. At the core of their concerns is simply the desire to feel and be better. Most often their struggles relate to relational matters which are frequently behind issues such as anxiety, depression, addictions and couple conflict. Such struggles appear in our lives in behaviors such as elevated criticism, put-downs, defensiveness, stonewalling, infidelity, self-centeredness, drug use, alcoholism, pornography and gambling. These behavioral problems can all be overcome through therapy with a good therapeutic relationship and willingness to work.

I am an addiction specialist treating compulsive behaviors for the last ten years. I have helped people struggling with substance, food, gambling and compulsive sexual behaviors. I am a licensed clinical social worker and a certified sexual addiction therapist. With this experience I have specialized in developing techniques to support the parents and partners in relationship with those in active addiction. There is a reason addiction is our number one public health issue and the sooner people intervene on themselves or others the sooner recovery begins.

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.
