Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Impulse-control difficulties can create powerful urges that feel difficult to resist, sometimes leading to regret, shame, relationship conflict, or harmful consequences. These patterns are not simply a lack of willpower; they may be connected to emotional distress, trauma, stress, or learned cycles of short-term relief.
I help clients identify triggers, recognize the space between an urge and an action, and develop healthier ways to regulate emotions and tolerate discomfort. Using approaches such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and hypnotherapy when appropriate, we work to strengthen self-awareness, accountability, and the ability to make choices that reflect your values and long-term goals.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Difficulty with impulse control often reflects a struggle to tolerate certain emotional states in the moment. I work with individuals to understand what drives these behaviors, rather than only trying to stop them. Through increased awareness and reflection, clients develop greater regulation, more thoughtful decision-making, and a stronger sense of control over their actions.

Similar to EDs if the basis is CPTSD we can apply a parts/systems approach. If its more unclear in terms of the origin, we might apply a more functional and integrative approach, for example applying distance TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) support. We also encourage peer group adjunct support if the behavior is compulsive. Please also refer to the ED section for more examples of how this might apply to more process based compulsions.
