Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC

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.

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.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re struggling with gambling, you may feel caught between the urge to keep going and the consequences that follow. You might tell yourself “this is the last time,” only to find the same pattern repeating—chasing losses, justifying decisions, or feeling a rush in the moment followed by regret, stress, or shame. Over time, it can begin to impact your finances, relationships, and how you feel about yourself.
I help clients understand and change the patterns that drive compulsive gambling at both the conscious and unconscious levels. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and interrupt the thought patterns that fuel risk-taking, impulsivity, and rationalization. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work more deeply to reduce urges, shift automatic behaviors, and create a stronger sense of internal control. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you tolerate urges without acting on them and make choices that align with your long-term goals and values.
What’s often missing isn’t awareness—you likely already see the impact gambling is having. What’s missing is a reliable way to manage urges in the moment and break the cycle before it starts again. Without that, the pull to gamble can feel automatic, even when you’re determined to stop.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for a different path. If you’re willing to approach this in a new way, I can help you regain control, reduce urges, and rebuild confidence in your ability to make decisions that support your future.
