Gambling
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.

Amherst is a suburban town of Buffalo and home to the North Campus of the University at Buffalo, one of the largest universities in the State University of New York system, bringing a substantial student population and the mental health demands that come with a large public research university. The town's generally affluent suburban character contrasts with the significant challenges faced by neighboring Buffalo, and many residents access mental health services in the broader Buffalo metro area alongside local providers. UB's counseling services are a primary resource for students, and a private therapy sector serves Amherst's established families and professional residents. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity development stress at a large research university, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the transitional challenges of navigating life in a prosperous suburb adjacent to a struggling urban center.
