Treating Gambling

About Chris

I’m an addiction therapist in Chicago. Most of my clients come in because of sports betting, gambling or high-risk trading.

I run Chicago Addiction Therapy, a private practice in Logan Square. I treat gambling, sports betting, high-risk trading, and alcohol and substance use, and I work with the partners and families of people who gamble.

I see clients in person in Chicago and online across Illinois and Minnesota.

The consultation and training I offer here comes straight from that work. When I teach screening, money safety or family involvement, I’m teaching what I did with clients that week.

I also build free resources for people who are struggling, including an anonymous gambling self-assessment, an alcohol self-assessment and a 24-hour plan for shutting down betting access.
