Gambling Addiction Counseling in Colorado

Chasing losses that keep growing. Secrecy about how much time or money has gone toward gambling. The shame cycle of promising to stop, then finding yourself right back at it. You shouldn't have to fight this alone. Overcomers Counseling offers confidential gambling addiction counseling across Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Pueblo, plus statewide teletherapy.

You Don't Have to Fight This Alone

Gambling addiction often develops as a way to escape stress, chase a high, or cope with difficult emotions, and shame tends to keep people from reaching out until the consequences feel overwhelming. Our therapists approach this work with compassion, not judgment.

Signs Gambling May Have Become a Problem

Common signs include gambling more money or time than intended, chasing losses, lying about gambling, borrowing money to gamble, and using gambling to escape stress or difficult emotions. Wherever you are with this, support is available.

How Our Therapists Help

Our providers use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and motivational approaches to help you understand what's driving the behavior, build healthier coping tools, and work toward the goals you set for yourself. For clients who want it, we also offer faith-integrated counseling grounded in grace and accountability.

What is the goal of counseling for gambling addiction?

For someone with a gambling addiction, the game can take over their life. The goal of counseling isn’t just to help you stop playing; it’s to help you reclaim your life, so you can start living it for real. We work together to help you understand the root of your need to gamble and give you the tools to rebuild your life on a foundation of purpose. We believe you can find a way to live a full and rewarding life, free from addiction.

What are some signs that a person has a gambling addiction?

A gambling addiction can be difficult to spot, especially because there are no physical signs of substance use. But if you’re constantly thinking about gambling, lying about your losses, or feeling a strong urge to gamble to get money back, it might be a sign that you have a problem. We understand that this is a difficult thing to admit. We'll provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore what’s happening and help you take the first step to a better life.

Can therapy help me with gambling addiction?

Yes! Therapy is a powerful tool to help you overcome a gambling addiction. Think of it as a guide to help you find a way out of the maze. Therapy helps you identify the triggers that lead to your compulsive gambling and teaches you new coping skills. We’ll help you find new ways to handle life’s stresses and manage difficult emotions without turning to gambling. We believe you have the power to stop the cycle and live a life of freedom.

What is the biggest challenge in overcoming a gambling addiction?

The biggest challenge in overcoming a gambling addiction is often the belief that you can beat it. It's that voice that says, "just one more time, and I'll win it all back." Counseling helps you turn down the volume on that voice and replace it with a new, more empowering one. We’ll work together to help you find the motivation to change and to get excited about living a life without gambling. You are in control, and we can help you find a new way to live.

AI Summary
Across hundreds of client reviews, one theme comes through again and again: people feel truly heard here. Clients describe finally finding a therapist who understood them, gaining real tools for anxiety, trauma, and anger management, and walking away from sessions feeling lighter and more hopeful. Many say Overcomers was the first place therapy actually felt like the right fit — a space to be met with warmth, patience, and genuine care on the path to becoming who they're meant to be.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dr. Roncalli is such a huge support and help for me. She is brilliant, and very quickly added insight, developed applicable life skills, and is a grounding presence. Overcomers practice is clean, safe, and the atmosphere is calming. I'm thankful I met her when I did.

I really appreciate how she helped me with my anger management, anxiety, she helped me with my issues with my dad, etc. I really appreciate everything that she did for me and she opened my eyes to realize that there is so much more to life than what you can see with your bare eyes.

The staff is super awesome. It’s a breath of fresh air being able to get the weight off of my chest. 5/5 10/10 whatever the scale. I never realized how much it would help. Wish I would’ve done it sooner! Better late than never !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have been through some very extreme trauma, and I've also done so much research and done so much work on my own. As a very self aware patient, it's insanely difficult to find a good fit for a therapist. Sometimes you just need to find someone who thinks outside of the box. Someone who makes you see a different perspective. I found this in Stefanie Kerr. She the most wonderful therapist I have ever met, and I've met A LOT! She encourages you to see yourself as just a normal human. You get stuck in this mindset that you aren't normal and get used to the label of being a broken person and she somehow makes you feel like you were never actually broken at all, you were just using your toolbox all wrong. She gives you the guidance to use what you found that works for you and makes it better! She smashes toxic coping mechanisms and helps you turn them into beneficial ones. She not only improved my life but my relationship with emotions in general. Along the way therapy with her has even helped my marriage!! Not only has my spouse seen a huge change in me, but my peers have pointed out how absolutely zen I am compared to how emotionally dysregulated I used to be. The way she changes your relationship with emotions is absolutely magical and I will recommend her to everyone I know until I die. She is an absolute blessing to the therapy world.
