“I gamble to escape from my stress and emotions, but it’s only making things worse.”
“My gambling is preventing me from living the life I want and causing more problems than it solves.”
Gambling addiction is often misunderstood, but we recognize that it’s rarely just about money—it’s frequently tied to deep emotional struggles. Many people find themselves caught in a cycle of gambling to avoid or soothe difficult emotions like anxiety, loneliness, guilt, or stress. This behavior can lead to feelings of shame and helplessness as gambling begins to interfere with work, relationships, and overall well-being.
Our goal is to help you break free from this cycle by addressing both the emotional pain behind the addiction and the compulsive behavior itself. We’ll work together to develop healthy coping skills, create stronger emotional resilience, and find meaningful ways to connect with yourself and others.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery from gambling addiction. Some clients benefit from structured group programs, while others find success with individual therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, or mindfulness-based strategies. After a thorough assessment of your history, we will collaborate to create a personalized treatment plan that feels right for you.
Common symptoms of gambling addiction include:
Chasing losses
Consistent preoccupation with gambling or related activities
Lying to loved ones about the habit
Neglecting work, responsibilities, and loved ones in favor of gambling
Restlessness or irritability when you try to cut down on gambling
The need to gamble with increasingly large amounts of money
