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.

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.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
I can help you get control over impulsive behaviors like overspending, emotional outbursts, risky decisions and high-reactivity. These patterns can create real problems in relationships and work, and can be difficult to stop on your own. Therapy focuses on recognizing triggers, calming nervous system reactivity, and using practical strategies to pause and make deliberate choices. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from old patterns, and help you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.
