Gambling
Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Gambling problems rarely start as problems. They often begin as entertainment, a way to unwind, a rush that offers relief from stress or boredom or something harder to name. Over time, for some people, it shifts. The losses get harder to walk away from, the urge to chase them grows stronger, and what started as recreation starts costing real things: money, relationships, trust, and self-respect.
Problem gambling is one of the more isolating struggles a person can face. The shame around it tends to run deep, and the secrecy that develops around it can make everything worse. Most people dealing with it have already tried to stop or cut back on their own. The fact that it keeps happening is not a matter of willpower. It is a pattern with real psychological and behavioral roots that responds well to focused, structured treatment.
In our work together, we look honestly at the role gambling has played, what has been driving it, and what has made it difficult to stop. We build concrete strategies for managing urges, address the underlying stress, anxiety, or emotional patterns that feed the behavior, and work on repairing the areas of life that have taken the hit.
My approach is direct and nonjudgmental. I have worked with people navigating substance misuse and behavioral patterns for over a decade and understand how these cycles work and what it actually takes to break them.
If gambling has become something you are managing in secret or something that has started to cost you more than you want to admit, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Alexander Fidelman
Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Any compulsive/addictive behavior is a way to distract from painful emotions and self-medicate and/or to gain control.
5-PATH (The Five Phase Advanced Transformational Hypnotherapy) is a comprehensive way to address and release all negative emotions, perceptions and change the inner programs (early life negative beliefs and subconscious decisions) that trigger those emotions and perceptions. It is a also a powerful way to change habits and behaviors by coding in specific behavioral patterns directly into the subconscious mind.

Dr. Eric Fields
Psychologist, PsyD
If you are a high-achieving professional struggling with a gambling addiction, I am an extremely effective and experienced psychologist who can help you immensely. My approach is not based off of the "same old" addiction treatments. I won't push you to attend Gamblers Anonymous groups. I also won't demand that you be abstinent first for a period of time before I will treat you (many therapists unfortunately operate this way). Furthermore, I won't even demand that you work towards abstinence. And I will not tell you that you have a disease and are helpless over your gambling addiction or that it is your primary problem (it often is not). So what will I demand of you? My only request is that you are committed to the therapeutic process, which includes my wealth of experience, time-tested techniques, and research-based strategies.
My approach is very collaborative, and together we will discover what goals are best for you. You will have a lot of input into this important goal setting step. I have some patients who have goals of abstinence, moderation, mere reduction of the behavior, or substitution (switching to a less harmful behavior). Aside from behavioral goals, some of the most important goals will be to identify the functions or reasons for your compulsive gambling behavior and then address them in healthier, more effective ways. I call my approach a "whole person" treatment because we are not just trying to address your gambling addiction or compulsive behavior, but we are trying to improve all of you! This could include your emotional and mental health, physical health, work performance, academic success, relationships (i.e., with family, romantic partners, peers, and colleagues), and so forth. With my therapy, you will ultimately become a far better version of yourself and may very well even reach your potential.
If you want top-notch service, an approach based on a wealth of experience and evidence-based knowledge, a truly innovative and inspirational therapist, and real-life changes, and you don't want to pay for inappropriate judgments, stigmas, biases, or antiquated ideas, then I am the right professional for you. Aside from the invaluable personal growth and development you can experience with me, my approach will most likely even save you money in the long run! Think about how much money you may be spending each week on gambling, or the time wasted on this activity that could have been invested in your career or other life-changing opportunities! E-mail or call me today and let's start getting you on track to living the life you truly deserve, one that can be so rewarding and fulfilling.
