Who This Gambling Support Group Is For

This group may be a good fit if you:

  • Feel stuck in gambling patterns you want to change

  • Experience stress, secrecy, or shame related to gambling

  • Want accountability and encouragement in a supportive setting

  • Prefer group therapy alongside professional guidance

The group is designed for adults seeking recovery-focused support, whether you’re early in the process or recommitting to change.

Why Group Therapy for Problem Gambling Works

Group therapy provides something individual therapy alone often cannot:

  • Shared understanding and reduced isolation

  • Accountability through group connection

  • Practical tools reinforced through repetition

  • Encouragement from others working toward similar goals

Consistent participation helps create momentum and long-term progress.

Group Structure & Attendance Commitment

This problem gambling support group is offered in structured rotations, meaning participants attend regularly throughout each cycle. My groups are on a rotational basis usually 4 to 6 weeks depending on the subject and lasts for about an hour (60-75 mins). We will dive into a particular topic for the series and regular attendance is expected in order to have the best experience and benefit long lasting change possible.

Why regular attendance matters:

  • Builds trust and safety within the group

  • Allows skills and insights to build week-to-week

  • Supports personal accountability and measurable progress

  • Helps participants reach their recovery goals more effectively

Commit to change—one session at a time.

📌 Participants are encouraged to commit to attending each session within a full group rotation to gain the most benefit. Regular attendance throughout each group rotation helps build accountability, trust, and lasting progress. If there are any concerns, please discuss prior to joining. I am here to support and work with any anticipated absences.
