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.

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.
