Impulse Control
Dr. Jessica De Leon
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Difficulty managing impulses can leave you feeling frustrated, ashamed, or disconnected from the person you want to be. Therapy provides an opportunity to understand the emotional and situational patterns behind impulsive behaviors, develop healthier coping strategies, and build greater awareness and control without relying on shame or self-criticism.

Impulse Control
Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in treating impulse control disorders, offering a structured, evidence-based approach to help children and adults manage reactive behaviors and improve self-regulation. My expertise is supported by extensive post-doctoral training in a program dedicated to externalizing problems, which provides a deep understanding of the neurological and environmental factors driving impulsive actions. By integrating Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify the triggers of impulsive behavior, strengthen distress tolerance, and implement practical, intentional strategies to regain control and foster more adaptive decision-making.
