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.

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.

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.
