Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately by your emotions and life demands? Do you sometimes feel like you have exhausted your coping resources and no longer know how to move forward? If so, do not worry or judge yourself. We have all felt like this at some point in our lives. Let me introduce myself: I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (www.ninahopmeiercounselling.ca), and am extremely passionate about the counselling process due to building a strong and trusting bond with my clients.

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.
