Gambling

Therapists for Gambling Addiction in the Greater Denver Area and Across Colorado – Accepting New Clients

Gambling addiction, also known as compulsive gambling or gambling disorder, can deeply impact a person’s emotional, financial, and relational well-being. Individuals struggling with this issue may feel a constant urge to gamble despite negative consequences. They might chase losses, hide their behavior, or feel anxious and irritable when trying to stop. Gambling problems can affect people of any age, background, or financial situation, and are often linked with co-occurring issues like depression, anxiety, substance use, or family conflict.

Therapy can be a powerful support for individuals experiencing gambling addiction. Westside therapists often use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients identify triggers, change harmful thought patterns, and build healthier coping strategies. Treatment may also focus on addressing shame, repairing relationships, and establishing long-term goals. For those impacted by a loved one’s gambling, therapy offers tools for boundary setting and emotional resilience.

 

Appointments are available in person across the Greater Denver Area, including Littleton, Westminster, Golden, Arvada, and Aurora, or through secure online therapy statewide. All of our therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many are also credentialed with other insurance plans. You can browse available therapists by specialty, insurance, location, and age to find the right fit for your needs. You can also call us at (303) 986-4197 or email info@westsidebehavioral.com for personal assistance scheduling your first session.
