MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Impulse Control Disorders, such as compulsive shopping, gambling, or hair-pulling, can be challenging to manage due to the powerful urges that drive these behaviors. Hypnotherapy offers a promising approach by helping individuals access underlying subconscious triggers and reprogram automatic responses. Through guided relaxation and suggestion, hypnotherapists work with clients to strengthen self-control, increase awareness of urges, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. This process can foster improved impulse regulation and reduce the frequency and intensity of impulsive behaviors, especially when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan alongside behavioral therapies and medical support.

XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
Struggles with impulse control—whether spending, eating, substances, or outbursts—often carry shame. I help you understand the feelings and body sensations underneath the urge, without judgment. Together, we build self-regulation skills, increase pause between impulse and action, and address underlying trauma or stress that may be driving the behavior.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Impulse control is a big topic that encompasses many things such as binge eating, anger management issues, drug and alcohol abuse, self harm, anxiety, and much more. All are the result of emotional triggers that set off the behavior and often the client doesn't realize what initiates the negative response. The first thing is to uncover exactly what it is that triggers the problem behavior and then neutralize the trigger or provide a positive trigger in its place. Often, simply understanding what starts the unwanted response goes a long way towards change. This is, again, one of the bread and butter issues that hypnotherapists successfully deal with every day.c

Anchorage is the most geographically isolated major city in the United States, and this isolation — combined with Alaska's extreme seasonal light variation — contributes to elevated rates of seasonal affective disorder, depression, and substance use that therapists here address as recurring priorities. The city has a significant Alaska Native and American Indian population, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care that engages with Indigenous mental health, subsistence culture, and historical trauma from colonial policies are an especially important part of the local landscape. Alaska Native Medical Center, Providence Alaska Medical Center, and Alaska Regional Hospital provide institutional mental health resources, while the private therapy community serves a population spread across a physically vast metropolitan area. Telehealth plays a critical access role for Anchorage residents and those across Alaska's broader geography seeking care beyond what is available locally.
