Do You Feel...

What brings people to counseling rarely arrives as one clear moment. More often it builds quietly: a feeling that lingers, a pattern that keeps repeating, a sense that something is off. If any of these sound familiar, reaching out to Foundations is a simple first step.

Chronic Gambling with Increasing Amounts

Individuals might find themselves continuously gambling larger amounts of money to experience the same level of excitement.

Restlessness or Irritability

When attempting to reduce or stop gambling, they may experience noticeable restlessness or irritability.

Repeated Unsuccessful Attempts to Quit

Despite repeated efforts, they find themselves unable to curtail or cease gambling activities.

Preoccupation with Gambling

A significant portion of their thoughts is occupied by gambling, such as constantly planning the next gambling venture or thinking of ways to get money to gamble.

Gambling to Escape Problems

Using gambling as a means to escape or alleviate feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression.

Lying to Conceal Gambling Activity

They may resort to lies to hide the extent of their gambling involvement from family, friends, or therapists.

Chasing Losses

After losing money gambling, they often return another day to get even, caught in a cycle of 'chasing' their losses.

Lying to Conceal Gambling Activity

They may resort to lies to hide the extent of their gambling involvement from family, friends, or therapists.

Answers to Common Questions

What is gambling disorder counseling?

Gambling disorder counseling is talk therapy for people who feel unable to control betting, whether at casinos, on sports betting apps, in online games or with lottery tickets. Counselors often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge beliefs like chasing losses or being due for a win, along with work on triggers, urges, stress and the shame that keeps people stuck. The goal is regaining control of your money, relationships and time.

How do I know if I need gambling disorder counseling?

Warning signs include betting more to get the same thrill, chasing losses, lying about how much you gamble, borrowing or using bill money to bet, feeling restless when you try to cut back, or gambling to escape stress. If any of that sounds familiar, or someone close to you has raised concerns, reaching out for a free consultation is a low pressure way to talk it through.

What can I expect in my first counseling session?

The first session usually involves discussing your gambling habits, mental health history, personal goals, and any challenges you're facing. It's a safe space to understand your needs and plan the course of treatment.

What are the costs associated with counseling or therapy sessions at Foundations?

At Foundations, each counseling or therapy session is $200. Your first consultation is always free, and you are able to meet with as many counselors as you need until you find the perfect match.

Does Foundations accept Insurance?

No. Foundations is private pay and does not bill insurance companies. If your plan has out of network benefits, we can give you documentation to submit for possible reimbursement, so check with your plan first. Paying privately keeps your counseling out of insurance records, avoids a required diagnosis, and lets you choose your counselor and how long your sessions last.

What if I need to reschedule my counseling session?

There is no charge for any session cancelled at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled appointment time.

Are you available in the evenings or on weekends?

Yes. Foundations offers early morning, daytime, evening and Saturday appointments, and online sessions can add flexibility. Call 970.227.2770 or book online, tell us what times work for you, and we will match you with a counselor whose schedule fits.

Will my gambling disorder counseling be confidential?

Yes. What you share stays between you and your counselor, with the legal exceptions every counselor follows, such as a serious risk of harm. Foundations is private pay and does not bill insurance, so no claim or diagnosis goes to an insurer or employer. Your counselor will explain the limits of confidentiality in your first session, before you share anything you are worried about.

Can gambling disorder counseling help if I've already accumulated debt?

Yes. Debt adds shame and pressure that can fuel more gambling, so counseling works on both. Your counselor can help you face the numbers honestly, plan conversations with a partner or family, and put practical guardrails in place, such as handing over account access or using self exclusion programs. Counselors are not financial advisors, so many people also work with a nonprofit credit counselor on repayment.

Do I have to stop gambling completely?

The primary goal is to regain control over your life. For most, this means abstaining from gambling, but the approach can vary based on individual circumstances and therapy goals.

Can I bring family members to my counseling sessions?

Often, yes. Gambling affects partners and families, and involving them can rebuild trust and set clear agreements about money. With your agreement, a partner or family member can join some sessions, and Foundations also offers couples counseling when the relationship needs its own attention. You and your counselor decide together when bringing others in will help and when you need the space to yourself.

What if I relapse during my treatment?

Relapse can be a part of the recovery process. Your counselor will work with you to understand the triggers and strengthen coping strategies to prevent future relapses.

Can counseling help if someone I love has a gambling problem?

Yes. Living with a partner or parent who gambles can bring money stress, broken trust and constant worry. You can see a counselor on your own, even if your loved one is not ready for help. Counseling helps you protect your finances, set boundaries, sort out what is and is not yours to fix, and care for yourself while you decide what comes next.
