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.

Newport News is defined by its location at the heart of the Hampton Roads shipbuilding and military industrial complex — home to Newport News Shipbuilding (a division of HII), one of the country's largest and most strategically significant defense contractors — creating a therapy community serving a large workforce navigating the psychological pressures of national security-adjacent industrial work alongside the region's substantial military population. The city has a large African American population with deep community roots in the Peninsula, and culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma, community resilience, and the particular dynamics of working-class Black life in Hampton Roads are an important part of the local landscape. Riverside Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Newport News shares the Hampton Roads mental health ecosystem with Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Hampton, and residents often access care across the region.
