Gambling
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults affected by gambling, both those who gamble themselves and those living alongside a partner or family member’s gambling. Gambling can organise relationships around secrecy, volatility, financial strain, and repeated cycles of hope and disappointment, often leaving people unsure how to respond or where responsibility lies.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to understand how gambling functions within an individual or family system, and what roles different people may have been pulled into over time. Sessions focus on clarity, boundaries, and the emotional impact of gambling, rather than quick solutions or pressure toward change. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC
Psychologist
Gambling can start as entertainment but may grow into a source of stress, financial strain, and emotional distress. I work with adults who are concerned about their gambling habits or are struggling to regain a sense of stability and control. Using evidence-based approaches such as motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychoeducation, I help clients explore their behaviors, build healthier coping strategies, and reconnect with what matters most. If gambling is interfering with your well-being or relationships, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Addiction destroys everybody. Research finds that losing can trigger a release of dopamine to almost the same extent as winning, which is why you may stay in the casino after dropping a few hands. Your body also produces adrenalin and pleasurable endorphins throughout the win/lose gambling cycle. All my clients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time due to Dicit hypnotherapy. Now it's your turn. I use Dicit hypnotherapy for your resilience and recovery. Get ready to quit gambling once and for all.

Birmingham carries one of the most significant civil rights legacies of any American city — the site of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing and pivotal moments in the fight for racial justice — and this history creates a distinctive context in which racial identity, historical trauma, and community resilience are active themes in local therapy culture. The city is home to UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham), one of the country's premier academic medical centers, which anchors significant mental health research, training, and clinical infrastructure. Birmingham's African American community — which comprises a majority of the city's population — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. The broader Birmingham metro's mix of healthcare, finance, and manufacturing industries creates diverse occupational therapy demand across a metropolitan area larger than the city itself.
