Gambling
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.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
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.

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

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Gambling habits and addictions are usually not really about getting money, but the thrill and the rush of feel-good chemicals the brain makes when the person scores a win. Gambling is usually driven by a deep need to feel enough or feel alive, and to fill an emptiness that arises from not feeling enough or having enough. The origin is often from a belief that was unknowingly formed early in life that the person wasn't good enough somehow, and this drives the behavior to fill that need. Rapid Transformational Therapy helps to find the root cause of the beliefs, then interrupt and release them, while creating new pathways in the brain that create effective change away from the unwanted behavior. Then, beneficial beliefs and visualizations are 'installed' at the subconscious level to replace them, along with ongoing support after the session.
