Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Gambling can become a way to manage stress, escape painful emotions, seek excitement, or cope with difficult life circumstances. Over time, it can create secrecy, financial strain, shame, and relationship conflict. Therapy can help you understand triggers, interrupt harmful patterns, build coping strategies, and reconnect with your values and goals.

Support for anyone at any stage of recovery, whether you’re just starting to explore change or already on your way.

Ajax is a lakefront Durham Region town east of Toronto, one of the Greater Toronto Area's most diverse communities, with large Black, South Asian, and Filipino populations and many young families commuting west. Mental health needs centre on commuter and financial strain, newcomer settlement, and youth wellbeing in fast-growing schools. Lakeridge Health provides regional services, and the GTA's large therapy market — plus virtual care — extends access.
