Impulse Control
Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Difficulty managing impulses can lead to patterns that feel overwhelming or out of control—whether it's outbursts, compulsive behaviors, or risky actions. In therapy, I help clients explore the underlying emotional and neurological factors contributing to these behaviors, while building practical tools for self-regulation and awareness. Using evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and emotion regulation strategies, we work to strengthen impulse control, reduce distress, and foster more intentional, balanced decision-making.
