What does counseling look like?

No matter the stage or scenario you’re in with problem gambling, our certified and licensed counselors have helped many others in situations like yours. The help you’ll receive won’t come from some cookie-cutter step-by-step program, but from an invaluable point of view that truly understands what you’re going through.

You and your counselor will develop a personalized plan that includes:

  • Safe and comfortable withdrawal from the gambling you want to change
  • Motivation to remember the reason you want to change your gambling
  • Additional help or services that help you reach your goal
  • Skills to maintain the change you want
