Steve Rose, a certified gambling counselor, identifies warning signs of problem gambling: constant preoccupation, chasing losses, and using gambling to escape pain or stress. He offers online counseling across Canada from his Lakeshore, Ontario office.
Hey, Steve Rose here, and if you found this page, you may be concerned about your relationship to gambling. You may find yourself thinking about it all the time, chasing the next big win. Either way, it's not simply just for entertainment. Like any other substance, gambling can be used as a way to escape from underlying pain, boredom, or stress, and it gives you that short-term comfort at a long-term cost. The question is, is it really worth it anymore? Is it getting you more of what you want in the long term, or is it getting you further away from that? As a certified gambling counselor, I've talked to many people with these same issues, and luckily there is a better path forward. Although my office is located in Lakeshore, Ontario, I meet with clients across Canada online and can offer support through a secure platform. If you're interested in reaching out for support, You can use the contact form on this page and I will get back to you. Look forward to connecting. Take care.
