Problem Gambling, technology use and other behavioural addictions can feel like invisible addictions - money, phones, social media, the internet are all around us and can feel impossible to navigate or manage on our own.

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.

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.

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
