Francis A. Bax
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master
Some people are turned on by the bright lights, glamour and the potential financial benefits of gambling. Reality is, the house always wins. I help those with gambling addiction explore other means of occupying themselves so they can become more financially fulfilled and less dependent on gambling.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Compulsive gambling usually serves a psychological function, whether that’s escape, control, or managing underlying anxiety or stress. I work with clients to understand what the behaviour is doing for them and build sustainable alternatives, alongside addressing any financial or relational impact where relevant.
