At therapyrecover.com, we understand that the road to recovery isn’t a straight line—it’s a journey of rediscovery. We were founded on the belief that everyone struggling with gambling addiction deserves a safe, non-judgmental space to rebuild their lives.
For many, gambling starts as a form of escape or entertainment, but it can quickly transform into a cycle that impacts every facet of life—finances, relationships, and mental well-being. Our mission is to provide the clinical expertise and community support necessary to break that cycle for good. We don’t just treat symptoms; we support people. Our philosophy is rooted in Radical Empathy and Evidence-Based Practice. We recognize that addiction is often a response to underlying emotional pain or stress, and our goal is to help you heal those roots while giving you the practical tools to stay gamble-free in the present.
The Team Behind the Mission
This platform was built by a trio of individuals who believe that the combination of technology, community, and clinical excellence is the key to lasting change. We bring together diverse backgrounds in international business, community building, and therapeutic strategy to create a global support system.
Dr. Simon Oliver – The Visionary & Community Architect
With years of experience building global communities for digital nomads, Simon Oliver recognized a growing, silent crisis: the rise of digital addiction in an increasingly isolated world. Having spent years fostering international networks and business accelerators, they bring a unique perspective on how community accountability can be the strongest weapon against addiction. Their focus is on ensuring that no one has to recover in a vacuum.
Shafin Hunek. PhD. – The Strategic Specialist
A partner in multiple international ventures and an expert in digital strategy, Shafin Hunek ensures that our resources are accessible to those who need them most. With a background in navigating complex business landscapes and supporting self-employed individuals through crises, they understand the immense pressure of financial stress. Their work focuses on building the practical frameworks and digital tools that make recovery manageable in the modern age.
Torin Biancari – The Clinical Lead
Bringing the essential therapeutic heartbeat to the team, Torin Biancari oversees our evidence-based approaches. With deep roots in the IDF Disabled Veterans Organization and experience in psychological rehabilitation, they bridge the gap between high-level strategy and the human soul. They ensure that every article, tool, and session we offer is grounded in clinical integrity and the latest advancements in addiction therapy.
What Makes Us Different
- Lived Experience Meets Clinical Expertise: Our team consists of both licensed professionals and individuals who have navigated the recovery journey themselves. This combination ensures our resources are both scientifically sound and deeply relatable.
- Holistic Integration: We don’t just look at the “bet.” We look at your stress management, your financial health, and your family dynamics to ensure your recovery is sustainable.
- Zero Judgment Zone: Shame is the greatest barrier to recovery. We’ve built a culture where honesty is celebrated and setbacks are viewed as opportunities for learning, not reasons for guilt.
Our Methodology
We utilize a multi-disciplinary approach to ensure you have every tool available for success. By combining modern psychological frameworks with peer-driven support, we cover every angle of the recovery process.
- Discovery: Identifying the “why” behind the behavior.
- Empowerment: Building the “how” through coping skills and cognitive restructuring.
- Connection: Strengthening the “who” by mending relationships and joining a supportive community.
