Dr. Mike Zhang.Gambling Recovery Expert

Private gambling recovery coaching

I help people quit gambling for good.

I’m Michael Zhang. I treated gambling inside a university clinic for five years. Now I take on a small number of people privately, and work with the families around them.

Thirty minutes, one to one with me. I’ll tell you honestly whether I can help.

About

Michael Zhang, PhD

Clinical psychologist. Five years treating gambling at the University of Sydney. Founder of Incumental.

Michael Zhang, PhD

I trained as a clinical psychologist and landed in a clinic that treated gambling. It took over everything else I was interested in.

I have never had a gambling problem myself. People I worked with would sometimes tell me the way I talked about it made them think I had. That is thousands of hours of listening, not a textbook.

I watched people put their lives back together. Their money, their marriages, the way they saw themselves.

Incumental, the recovery app I founded

The Incumental app

A clinic helps whoever makes it through the door, one hour a week. I built Incumental so the same work is on your phone at two in the morning, which is when people need it.

  • Guided sessions
  • Urge tools
  • A community
  • In person experiences
