Gambling
Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: CBT, motivational interviewing-informed, emotion-focused and relapse-prevention strategies.
I help clients explore the emotional and behavioural patterns surrounding gambling, including triggers, urges, beliefs about gambling, stress, and its impact on relationships or finances. Therapy focuses on increasing awareness, strengthening motivation for change, developing alternative coping strategies, and building healthier routines. Specialized addiction support can be incorporated when necessary.

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.

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
