Denver, Colorado therapist: Carrie Gauthier, hypnotherapist
Gambling

Carrie Gauthier

Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Gambling, like all addictions, can be eliminated by those serious about quitting. Using a powerful and transformative hypnotic protocol, we work through the emotions and beliefs associated with the root cause memory, process it, and reframe and rewire with the new healthy ways of being instead. This has a very liberating effect and once this burden is off your back, you can finally move forward without self-sabotage. No more taking two steps forward, five steps back. It is time to move forward again; do this with the new hardwire we install together.

Fairfax, Virginia therapist: Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D., psychologist
Gambling

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.
