Gaming and Addiction: A Conversation with Dr. Jason Hacker | Ep. 25
Episode 25
In Episode 25, I speak with Jason Hacker, Ph.D, an expert in gaming and internet addiction. Jason is a licensed adolescent and adult psychologist with a private practice in Chicago.
Jason's interest in treating problematic technology use grew out of his experience treating a wide range of mental health concerns as a trainee and staff psychologist at university counseling centers in Chicago and Washington, D.C. He recognized a growing trend in students struggling to maintain a healthy relationship with technology. Having moved into private practice, he now works with adolescents and adults of all ages to limit unhealthy behaviors while building healthy coping and stronger relationships.
