Bipolar Disorder Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Greg Rennie has over 10 years experience working as an addiction specialist in top addiction treatment centres in Ontario, Canada. He utilizes the same approaches as "rehabs" do but in an outpatient, one to one environment. I have helped many clients overcome why they go back again and again to the destructive behaviour of gambling but can't seem to stay away from it. Greg is in recovery himself (30 years) and has been challenged with the why of addiction and why we use an external means to escape from our core issues. Contact him at greg@bipolar-addiction.com

Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to treating problem gambling is grounded in evidence-based practices that address both the underlying drivers and the behavioural patterns that keep individuals stuck in the cycle. I begin by helping clients understand the emotional, cognitive, and situational triggers that lead to gambling urges, while teaching practical skills to reduce impulsivity and regain control. Using a blend of cognitive-behavioural strategies, motivational enhancement, and harm-reduction techniques, I supports clients in rebuilding healthier coping mechanisms, repairing financial or relational impacts, and strengthening long-term resilience. My work is collaborative, non-judgmental, and focused on empowering clients to create sustainable change at a pace that feels safe and achievable.

With the psychodynamic approach, the client will know the causes and roots that led him to his problem; for what it is necessary an in-depth analysis of the personality by putting greater focus on the current and past experiences. This will give the client the opportunity to build a new present and future understanding and identifying triggers and own emotions.

If and when gambling becomes problematic, it is nearly always a coping mechanism for deeper emotional struggles. Healing involves uncovering the underlying roots, cultivating supportive connections, and approaching oneself with patience and compassion instead of judgment.

Jim Mason
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, ICADC, CCAC
Problem gambling is not just about losing money. Gambling problems can affect a person’s whole life. Gambling is a problem when it gets in the way of work, school or other activities, harms your mental or physical health, hurts you financially, damages the person’s reputation, or causes problems with family or friends.
As a Canadian Certified Addiction Counsellor, I offer specialized therapy to help individuals address addictive behaviours. I emphasize a compassionate approach through various cognitive therapies, including CBT. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to problem gambling. If you're ready, I invite you to book a free 15-minute phone consultation to explore how I can support you.

Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RCSW EMDRIA Approved Consultant & Credit Provider
Overcoming the Chasing Cycle: Healing Beyond the Bet
When the high of a win fades and turns into a heavy cycle of secret stress, financial strain, and overwhelming regret, it can feel like your world is spinning out of your control.
Problematic gambling is rarely just about money. For many, taking that risk becomes an automatic attempt to numb emotional pain, soothe an overworked nervous system, or find a temporary escape from daily pressures. It starts as a distraction, but quickly turns into a trap.
At Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services, we meet you right where you are with total confidentiality and zero judgment. Grounded in our core values of empathy, integrity, and tailored care, we help you look beneath the surface to address the emotional distress driving the impulse to gamble.
Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, we work together to:
Identify Emotional Triggers: Uncover the specific stress responses and unmet needs that lead to compulsive behavior.
Restore Nervous System Balance: Learn healthy, sustainable grounding tools to manage urge spikes without acting on them.
Rebuild Trust & Security: Establish practical boundaries to protect your well-being, repair valued relationships, and regain financial peace of mind.
You don't have to navigate the weight of hidden struggles alone. Healing is about reclaiming command over your choices and stepping back into a life rooted in genuine stability, self-trust, and lasting peace.
