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.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Addiction destroys everybody. Research finds that losing can trigger a release of dopamine to almost the same extent as winning, which is why you may stay in the casino after dropping a few hands. Your body also produces adrenalin and pleasurable endorphins throughout the win/lose gambling cycle. All my clients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time due to Dicit hypnotherapy. Now it's your turn. I use Dicit hypnotherapy for your resilience and recovery. Get ready to quit gambling once and for all.

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.
