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.

Gambling can start as entertainment but may grow into a source of stress, financial strain, and emotional distress. I work with adults who are concerned about their gambling habits or are struggling to regain a sense of stability and control. Using evidence-based approaches such as motivational interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and psychoeducation, I help clients explore their behaviors, build healthier coping strategies, and reconnect with what matters most.
