WORK WITH JOLENE
Sometimes the most useful conversation is with someone who has been there. Jolene offers private Zoom sessions, family consultations, small-group programs, and educational conversations grounded in her own lived experience with gambling addiction and recovery—not as a therapist or clinician, but as someone who understands from the inside.
Important to understand before reaching out
These conversations are based on lived experience, peer mentoring, and education—not therapy, clinical treatment, medical advice, or licensed counseling. Jolene does not diagnose or treat gambling addiction. If you or someone you care about needs clinical or crisis support, please use the resources provided here.

All sessions are conducted via Zoom. Jolene reviews every inquiry personally.
One-on-one, by appointment
A private conversation for individuals navigating gambling harm or early recovery. Jolene shares what she learned through her own experience — what helped, what didn't, and what she wishes she had known. These are honest, unhurried conversations, not clinical sessions.
One-on-one or with a partner, by appointment
A conversation for spouses, parents, adult children, or close friends trying to understand what their loved one is going through and how to respond. Jolene speaks from the perspective of someone who lived through addiction — and whose family lived through it too.
Up to 8 participants, by arrangement
A facilitated conversation for small groups — peer support circles, recovery communities, family groups, or workplace wellness cohorts. Grounded in lived experience and designed to open honest conversation about gambling harm, recovery, and what support can look like.
Custom format, by arrangement
Structured educational conversations for organizations, community groups, or professional teams who want to build understanding of gambling harm from a lived-experience perspective. Can be delivered as a single session or a short series.
Honest and unhurried
Jolene brings her full attention to every conversation. There is no script, no sales pitch, and no pressure to share more than you are ready to.
Grounded in lived experience
Everything Jolene shares comes from her own experience — not from a textbook or a training program. That means she can speak to the parts of gambling addiction that are hardest to explain to someone who hasn't been there.
Complementary to professional support
These conversations work best alongside — not instead of — professional support. Jolene will always encourage you to connect with clinical resources when that is what you need.
Jolene is also available for keynote speaking, panel discussions, workshops, and media conversations. Visit the Speaking page to learn about her signature presentation and inquiry process.
REACH OUT
Share a little about what you are looking for. Jolene reviews every message personally and will respond with honest information about whether and how she can help.
These sessions are peer mentoring and lived-experience education — not therapy, clinical treatment, or licensed professional services.
