Have you even felt powerless? Maybe you’ve felt it in a relationship, or in your family, or at your job. Maybe at times you've felt powerless against your own mind. I believe that there’s a deep well of power that exists inside you. All you have to do is find it and reconnect to it. I would be honored to take that journey of self-discovery with you. You are far more powerful than you know, and I hope to help you explore your power.

Therapy can be described by the process of untangling a ball of knotted yarn into all its individual strings. Through our time together, we can unravel that ball of yarn into the individual strings and explore how those strings may impact you. These various strings may be obvious to you (i.e. work, relationships) and some of them may seem more elusive (i.e. early experiences). Either way, our goal is to make sense of these strings in all their aspects to help understand how they may impact your wellbeing.

The person we listen to the most is ourselves and that is the person we will believe first. That is because this is who we spend the most time with, this is the person who speaks volumes when we are alone, and this is the person we will spend the rest of our lives with. This person is called SELF. We must learn how to be with our own self and care for ourselves properly. The way we treat others speaks to how we are treating ourselves. Allow me to help you care for you so that you will know how to care for others.

Do you have difficulty setting boundaries or feel emotionally overwhelmed? Maybe you use substances or other unhealthy behaviors to shut your brain off? If so, you may carry a deep sense of shame, loneliness, or feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. You might even appear high-functioning on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain of who they are. I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are ready to better understand themselves, build healthier patterns, and create more meaningful lives and relationships.

There is nothing wrong with you. You’ve learned some patterns that made sense at the time, got reinforced by your environment and now things have kind of gone sideways. Everything you’ve learned can be unlearned.
I’m Christie, a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor with over 13 years of lived recovery experience. People come to me having tried other approaches and feeling like healing just doesn’t work for them. They leave with actual tools, a lot more self compassion, and sometimes even something they didn’t expect, they start to see the good in themselves.

Hi, I’m Robbie a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, working under the supervision of Dr. Melissa Gaa, LPC-S. I work with individuals needing help with anxiety, self-criticism, trauma, or addiction, and want to understand themselves on a deeper level and create real, lasting change.
Many of the people I work with enjoy learning more about themselves, their parts, and how it all ties together. We explore past and current experiences, social support, relationships, and core beliefs. Healing is another component, which for some, can have a profound impact.

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.
