Impulse Control
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.

Impulse Control
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with impulse control and behaviors that feel difficult to manage or stop. This may include addictive patterns, out of control sexual behavior, impulsive decision making, or actions that repeatedly create problems in relationships, work, or self trust. These behaviors are often connected to emotional regulation, stress, trauma, or unmet needs rather than a lack of willpower.
In therapy, we focus on understanding what drives impulsive behavior and how it functions in your life. Together, we work to slow things down, increase awareness, and develop practical strategies for managing urges and emotions before they lead to actions you later regret. This includes building stronger coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and identifying situations that increase risk.
When impulsivity impacts a relationship, I also help couples address breaches of trust, communication breakdowns, and ongoing cycles of conflict. The goal is not perfection or control, but greater consistency, accountability, and the ability to make choices that align with your values and long term wellbeing.

Impulse Control
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.
