Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Gaming Addiction Counseling
Available this week
Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Addiction, Adjustment Disorder,

Introduction

Gaming Addiction creates a void that many people don't understand. The hours that are wasted, the Shame, Regret, and Exhaustion that are felt, and the lies that you tell to your friends, significant other, and yourself. For some reason, even after being worn out, your hands keep coming back to the game. Part of your soul gets trapped in the experience, and never really leaves. Escaping the prison can seem impossible. It's easy to get trapped, but it doesn't have to be your prison forever. I've lived through the experience, and I know what it takes to stop the cycle. With over 30,000 hours invested into gaming, and now no longer playing video games, I'm living proof that gaming is not the end, but merely a learning experience. Please, don't waste any more time, and get your life back on track. It would be an honor for me to help. Contact me so we can deal with this together now.
