For clinicians and Problem Gambling counselors

Bring financial reality into your next session.

Guardian gives your clients a way to invite you into the financial reality they can't always describe in session — with gambling transaction detection, credit monitoring, and talking points ready when you log in.

Client-initiated. Clients control what you see. Never a substitute for therapy.

Feelings drive finances. Finances reveal feelings. Guardian completes the clinical picture.

How it works

Designed for your workflow. Not against it.

1

Your client invites you

Your client adds you to their Guardian workspace. You see only what they share, and they can revoke access any time.

2

You get a session-ready financial summary

Guardian summarizes flagged transactions, trends, and streaks into a few bullets you can discuss with your client.

3

You lead the conversation

Guardian gives you the data. The therapeutic work is yours, and nothing replaces what happens in session.

What your client controls

Their data. Their rules.

Guardian is a client-initiated tool. Your client decides what you see and what you don't, and they can change their mind any time. Your job stays what it is, theirs gets a little easier.

This is not a clinical data product.

Guardian surfaces financial context your client has chosen to share. It does not replace assessment, documentation, or clinical judgment.

Guardian works through social accountability.1

It's the thought that gives you pause when you know a trusted person will see the transaction. That pause is often enough. Not willpower. Not shame. Just a moment of reflection, exactly when it matters.

Pricing

Your client pays. You don't.

Clinician access is free when invited by a client. Here is what your clients pay:
