Adult Gaming Disorder Treatment – tailored to you by a Specialized Addiction Therapist & CBT Specialist
You’ve probably landed on this page because you’re wondering if you have a problem with video gaming. I’m a therapist who specializes in treating adults who are looking for help with gaming disorder.
Clinical Expertise
I have an Ontario Addictions Certificate from WLU School of Social Work. Within that certificate I specialized in Behavioral Addictions – Shopping, Gambling, Sex, Gaming, Tech Use etc. The certificate is an addition to a Master’s Degree in Social Work,
I have successfully treated many adults for Video Gaming Disorder.
My Approach
I will get to know you, your history, background and interests and listen to what you think about your gaming use.
We can figure out together whether you are using video gaming in a healthy way or not. Sometimes I end up reassuring clients that they do not have an addiction problem. I don’t have any set of rules or expectations – except that I want to be helpful and support you.
P.S. It’s not the amount of time you spend gaming; it’s only a problem if it’s getting in the way of other things you need to do, or your relationships, or your social or work life.
I work with you to help you notice more about when and why you are gaming – what you are thinking and feeling before, during and after. Together, we develop a plan based on your goals – for example, to try decreasing the amount or time or how often you game.
I also look at factors that might be affecting you. For example: depression, anxiety, ADHA, loneliness, social skills, etc. may play into overuse of video games. If there are, we can work together on those as well.
