Dr. Eric Geffner's Individual Outpatient Gambling Treatment Program

Welcome

Since 1998 I have been providing individual therapy for people who are facing gambling problems, I hope that this website will assist you in your journey. I have tried to include some basic information regarding the nature of gambling related mental health issues and my private practice as well as some ideas about ways to find help if your are not living in the Greater Los Angeles Area.

A note on using this website. Under each topic listed on the top of this page if you see a small triangle to the right side of the topic, this means that there are several more pages and options for you to explore.

Special Notice: In conjunction with the State of California's Office on Problem Gambling (within the Department of Mental Health) and UCLA am now able to offer 8 (and possibly as many as 16) completely free therapy sessions to anyone who can attend therapy in person in my Westwood Office. This offer is also open to anyone who is involved in a close relationship with a person who has a gambling problem. Please use the Treatment information tab for more information on this special program.

Also new for this website is a free streaming of my mp3 lecture on gambling addiction

Thank you for stopping by,
