Dina Hijazi

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.
35 Years Experience
Online in Newark, NJ New Jersey
Newark is one of the most economically and culturally complex cities in the northeastern United States — a majority Black and Latino city with deep roots in jazz, civil rights history, and a long experience of disinvestment — and its therapy community frequently addresses the intersection of systemic inequity, racial trauma, and the psychological effects of urban poverty. The city has a significant Portuguese and Brazilian community alongside long-established African American and Puerto Rican populations, and multilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve critical access roles in a city where language and cultural barriers remain significant. Rutgers New Jersey Medical School provides institutional training and resources, while University Hospital Newark anchors the city's clinical mental health infrastructure. Newark's proximity to New York City means some residents also access therapy across the Hudson, while a growing independent therapy community has developed within the city itself.
