Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Gambling, like all addictions, can be eliminated by those serious about quitting. Using a powerful and transformative hypnotic protocol, we work through the emotions and beliefs associated with the root cause memory, process it, and reframe and rewire with the new healthy ways of being instead. This has a very liberating effect and once this burden is off your back, you can finally move forward without self-sabotage. No more taking two steps forward, five steps back. It is time to move forward again; do this with the new hardwire we install together.

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.
