Gambling
Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
For many years, I have offered an Addictions program for individuals, couples, and groups. The root of any addiction often lies in dysfunctional family experiences in childhood. Whatever form it takes, whether gambling, overeating, substance abuse, etc., the addictive cycle is in place because it often numbs feelings or serves as an attempt to fill an inner emptiness. I use various methods to stop the addiction by assisting the healing of its roots and replacing it with more functional ways, like Mindfulness, for dealing with needs and feelings. I have developed a safe and effective approach using guided imagery with music leading to an altered state of consciousness that can serve as a substitute for the "high" that one gets with drugs. Gamblers learn to recognize how they are putting their health, family ties, personal growth, and social life at risk. Often they are “self-medicating” their depression or anxiety with the gambling addiction, and in therapy they find far better ways of dealing with these problems. My colleagues and I have done family and friend interventions for addictions. I offer regular free Zoom seminars that feature Mindfulness techniques that are being utilized worldwide in therapy for Gambling. Please feel free to call for information and/or a consultation: 301-229-8000.

Mallory Lamb
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We will utilize CBT to disrupt gambling. We will identify patterns of triggers, thoughts, and emotions contributing to gambling. We will disrupt behavioral patterns and work on mitigating activating factors, identify replacement behaviors, and work on deeper held negative beliefs likely contributing to the behavioral pattern. MI and SFBT will also be used, to enhance desire for change and create practical steps.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Struggles with gambling can affect not just finances, but self-esteem, relationships, and overall well-being. I provide a supportive, judgment-free environment to help individuals understand the emotional and behavioral drivers behind compulsive gambling. Using evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relapse prevention strategies, and emotional regulation tools, we work together to regain control, rebuild trust, and create healthier coping mechanisms. Recovery is possible—with the right support, change can start today.
