Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC
Psychologist
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. If gambling is interfering with your well-being or relationships, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.

Mallory Lamb
Psychologist, Psy.D.
We will utilize CBT to disrupt gambling. We will identify patterns of triggers, thoughts, and emotions contributing to gambling. We will disrupt behavioral patterns and work on mitigating activating factors, identify replacement behaviors, and work on deeper held negative beliefs likely contributing to the behavioral pattern. MI and SFBT will also be used, to enhance desire for change and create practical steps.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Gambling can start as entertainment, a way to cope, or even a sense of possibility—but over time, it can become something that’s harder to control and harder to talk about. Many people find themselves caught in cycles of chasing losses, secrecy, financial stress, and the emotional highs and lows that come with it. There’s often shame attached, especially when others don’t understand or when it’s been framed as a lack of discipline rather than something more complex. Cultural factors can also play a role—how gambling is normalized in certain spaces, how risk and success are viewed, or the pressures that make quick financial relief feel necessary.
At Nour Counseling, we approach gambling with honesty and without judgment. We work with you to understand the patterns—what pulls you in, what keeps you there, and what makes it hard to step away. From there, we actively build strategies to interrupt the cycle, reduce harm, and create more stability, including practical supports around urges, finances, and decision-making. We also address the emotional and contextual layers—stress, escape, identity, and systemic pressures—so you’re not just trying to “white-knuckle” change. This is about helping you regain a sense of control, clarity, and direction in a way that actually feels sustainable.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
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.
