Gambling
Gary D. Alexander
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MFT, NCC
Problem gambling often develops gradually, becoming a way of coping with stress, emotional pain, or a desire to escape difficult feelings. Rather than focusing solely only on stopping the behavior itself, our work explores the emotional and relational patterns that may be fueling the urge to gamble. As these patterns become more understood and new ways of responding take shape, many people begin to regain a sense of control, stability, and balance in their lives.

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.

Tacoma is home to Joint Base Lewis-McChord — one of the largest military installations in the United States — and a significant portion of its therapy community is oriented toward the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating trauma, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of military life. The city has undergone significant revitalization in recent decades, with a growing arts and healthcare economy alongside the military and port sectors, and therapists frequently work with the identity and adjustment challenges of a city transforming its self-image. MultiCare Health System and Virginia Mason Franciscan Health provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Tacoma's diverse population — including large Pacific Islander, Black, and Latino communities — drives demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the University of Washington Tacoma feeds clinical training into the local community.
