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

Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RCSW EMDRIA Approved Consultant & Credit Provider
Overcoming the Chasing Cycle: Healing Beyond the Bet
When the high of a win fades and turns into a heavy cycle of secret stress, financial strain, and overwhelming regret, it can feel like your world is spinning out of your control.
Problematic gambling is rarely just about money. For many, taking that risk becomes an automatic attempt to numb emotional pain, soothe an overworked nervous system, or find a temporary escape from daily pressures. It starts as a distraction, but quickly turns into a trap.
At Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services, we meet you right where you are with total confidentiality and zero judgment. Grounded in our core values of empathy, integrity, and tailored care, we help you look beneath the surface to address the emotional distress driving the impulse to gamble.
Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, we work together to:
Identify Emotional Triggers: Uncover the specific stress responses and unmet needs that lead to compulsive behavior.
Restore Nervous System Balance: Learn healthy, sustainable grounding tools to manage urge spikes without acting on them.
Rebuild Trust & Security: Establish practical boundaries to protect your well-being, repair valued relationships, and regain financial peace of mind.
You don't have to navigate the weight of hidden struggles alone. Healing is about reclaiming command over your choices and stepping back into a life rooted in genuine stability, self-trust, and lasting peace.
