Gambling Addiction Treatment

Gambling addiction affects approximately 8% of all Oregonians. I treat all forms of gambling, but have a special interest in working with Online Sports Betting.

As a person who gambles, you may recognize the following: thinking about gambling often throughout the day, spending more money on gambling than you intended to, feeling anxious, angry, depressed, or irritable when trying to cut back on gambling, concealing gambling activity from family, trying to earn back losses, needing to place higher bets to experience excitement or numbing, gambling to escape uncomfortable emotions, jeopardizing important relationship, work, or school opportunities due to gambling.

Treatment focuses on the following: 

  • Identifying whether you'd like to reduce the amount of gambling you participate in, or stop gambling all together 
  • Identifying gambling triggers 
  • Creating barriers to interrupt your typical gambling cycle
  • Completing a financial assessment 
  • Creating a plan to address debts related to gambling
  • Repairing relationships in your life that may have been affected by gambling
