This isn’t just a business - it's a place where meaningful change grows from a place of trust, safety, and understanding.
I bring a practical, supportive, and nonjudgmental approach to my work, helping individuals understand the patterns driving their behavior and develop real-world strategies for change. My goal is to create a space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to regain control, rebuild stability, and move forward with confidence in their recovery.
Hi, I’m Ken.
Specialized Expertise in Gambling and Other Behavioral Addictions
I am an internationally recognized gambling addiction specialist (ICGC-II) with a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling and a doctoral candidate in Psychology. I am the creator of The 3-Prong Addiction Recovery System™ (3-PARS) and co-creator of The Lilac Grove Integrated Recovery (LGIR) Model™.
I am a licensed independent addiction counselor (LIAC) in AZ and a licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor (LCADC) in NJ. I am also a professional recovery coach offering sessions to clients nationwide. I have dedicated my career to working with individuals affected by gambling and other behavioral addictions.
Gambling Addiction Therapy
I am also a PhD candidate in Psychology with a focus on trauma and video gaming. This training informs my approach to gambling and video gaming addiction treatment, recognizing how trauma, loss, and chronic stress often play a role in addictive behaviors.
The 3-Prong Addiction Recovery System™ (3-PARS) and The Lilac Grove Integrated Recovery (LGIR) Model™ addresses both gambling behaviors and underlying emotional experiences, creating meaningful and lasting change.
My Approach
The 3-Prong Addiction Recovery System™ (3-PARS)
My Approach to Gambling and Behavioral Addiction Treatment
I created The 3-Prong Addiction Recovery System™ (3-PARS) to work with individuals struggling with gambling addiction, problem gambling, and compulsive behaviors. I understand that gambling addiction and other behavioral addictions are not about willpower or moral failure—it is a complex, treatable condition influenced by neurobiology, stress, learning, and trauma.
My approach to gambling addiction is collaborative, respectful, and informed. Together, we focus on understanding patterns, strengthening coping skills, preventing relapse, and building sustainable recovery.
Specialized Expertise in Gambling Addiction
My clinical experience includes:
Experience treating clients with gambling, video gaming, and porn addictions
Specialized coaching for behavioral addictions & recovery
Relapse prevention and recovery planning
Support for co-occurring mental health concerns
Recovery coaching using the 3-Prong Addiction Recovery System™ (3-PARS) focuses on sustainable transformation—helping individuals move beyond simply stopping addictive behaviors. I help clients move toward building healthier habits, restoring integrity in relationships, and developing deeper self-understanding. Through this structured approach, clients work toward long-term recovery, greater personal clarity, and more meaningful engagement in their lives.
What You Can Expect When Working With Me
Clients often describe me as grounded, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. I strive to create a safe, confidential space where you can speak openly about gambling, urges, relapse, and the impact addiction has had on your life—without judgment or shame.
