You lose connections with the people you care about. You lose sight of what’s truly important. You lose your sanity. Think about that the next time you get an urge to gamble.

Hello, I am a psychotherapist who has had experience working with patients with gambling disorder in the hospital. I am trying to create a product where people can access the same kind of treatment they would get in a therapy room by adapting therapeutic material into a mobile app so that those struggling with gambling addiction who are therapy-hesitant or therapy-deprived can get effective, quality help. If that sounds like something you would want to exist, please check out our landing page to know more about the app and sign up to tell us your thoughts and suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to read this, please know that your show of interest is pivotal to the development of this product.
