What’s New:
We are thrilled to welcome our newest Clinician to join the LIPGRC team Jessica A. Guevara, LCSW-R.
Jessica A. Guevara, LCSW-RLCSW-R. We asked Jessica why she was passionate about treating Gambling Addiction and this is what she said….
“As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have had an interest in helping clients with different facets of mental health and/or problem behaviors. While speaking with a colleague one day, she had brought to my attention the unfortunate lack of services for Problem Gamblers who were making efforts to reach out for help. Due to our recent COVID times, I was given the time to research and educate myself, and found my interest and desire to assist those who are searching for problem gambling treatment. I look forward to being a part of helping those individuals towards improving their overall emotional, mental and even physical well-being.”
Parents of young people with gambling problems call us every day. These parents want to learn how to set boundaries, while supporting their children and families. As a resource to these parents, the LIPGRC has created a parent support group. Our virtual group will give parents in similar situations a chance to support each other, under the guidance of a Problem Gambling Addiction Specialist. If you have interest in joining this group call today!
