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.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst
Impulsive behaviors often bring us much-needed relief in the moment, even though they later can lead to shame and/or regret. Rather than viewing these behaviors as failures of self-control, I like to instead ask clients what the impulse expresses or helps you manage. In other words, what language is the impulsive behavior communicating unconsciously? Together we can explore the feelings, conflicts, and relational patterns that precede acting impulsively, including experiences that may be difficult to recognize or put into words.
