My clinical experience includes treating all forms of addiction and co-occurring disorders. I've had experience working in residential treatment facilities, inpatient psychiatric facilities and outpatient mental health settings. I also serve as Clinical Director for an addiction treatment center. My approach includes the use of Relapse Prevention Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Enhancement Therapy.
Gambling treatment at our facility is centered around providing comprehensive support for individuals struggling with compulsive gambling behaviors. Our experienced team of mental health professionals employs evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, to address the psychological aspects of gambling addiction. Our treatment plans are tailored to the individual's unique circumstances, focusing on breaking the cycle of destructive behaviors and developing healthier coping mechanisms. We emphasize psychoeducation to increase awareness of the underlying triggers and consequences of excessive gambling. Additionally, our supportive environment encourages individuals to explore the factors contributing to their addiction while fostering personal responsibility and empowerment. The goal of our program is to equip individuals with the tools and strategies necessary for sustained recovery, promoting overall well-being and a balanced approach to life.
Gambling can become a compulsive habit with a costly consequence. Such can have an impact on the individuals and others. Reducing such compulsive behavior can take time. I have many years of experience in the area.
