Gaming Addiction Therapist

Specialized Treatment for Gaming Addiction from a Licensed Psychotherapist and former Medical Doctor

I will help you overcome your gaming addiction by using:

    •    Mindfulness and emotion regulation skills to manage stress and improve self-awareness

    •    Goal-setting and time management strategies to restore balance and productivity

    •    Exploration of underlying emotional or psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem

    •    Family therapy and communication support, when appropriate, to strengthen home dynamics

    •    Support in reconnecting with offline passions, relationships, and purpose

Video games can offer excitement, escape, and even community—but when gaming becomes compulsive and begins to interfere with daily life, it may be a sign of something deeper. Whether you’re struggling to limit your time spent gaming or find yourself unable to stop despite negative consequences, help is available—and healing is possible.

As both a licensed psychotherapist and former medical doctor, I bring a comprehensive understanding of how gaming addiction impacts the brain, body, and emotional well-being. I specialize in treating individuals of all ages who are ready to regain control over their relationship with gaming and reclaim their sense of purpose, balance, and connection.

Gaming addiction rarely exists in isolation. Many people who struggle with excessive gaming also experience co-occurring mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, social isolation, or low self-esteem. My treatment approach addresses these underlying challenges so that real, lasting change can occur—not just with gaming behaviors, but across all areas of life.

In therapy, we’ll explore what gaming may be helping you avoid or manage, and we’ll build healthier coping skills, emotional regulation tools, and strategies for reconnecting with relationships, work, school, and physical health. I create an individualized treatment plan that is both supportive and structured—meeting you exactly where you are and guiding you toward where you want to be.

I work with teens, young adults, and adults, as well as parents concerned about their child’s screen use. Whether your gaming involves multiplayer online worlds, mobile apps, streaming platforms, or immersive single-player games, my goal is not to shame or pathologize your experience—but to help you create balance, intention, and joy in both your digital and real-world life.

You don’t have to face your addiction alone. Reach out today to schedule a confidential consultation and take the first step toward emotional clarity, healthy habits, and a more connected life.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
