Impulse Control
Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
Struggling with impulse control can create patterns that feel out of your control and affect your daily life. I help clients explore the underlying emotions, triggers, and parts of themselves driving these impulses. Together, we build awareness, regulation skills, and healthier ways to respond to urges while reconnecting with your sense of self.

Impulse Control
Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults overcome impulse control difficulties that interfere with their relationships, health, work, and overall quality of life. Impulse control challenges can include compulsive behaviors, emotional reactivity, anger outbursts, problematic spending, gambling, binge eating, and other behaviors that feel difficult to stop despite negative consequences. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and habit-reversal strategies, I help clients understand the underlying triggers driving these behaviors, strengthen self-regulation skills, and develop healthier ways of coping. My goal is to help clients gain greater control over their actions, make choices that align with their values, and create lasting positive change.

Impulse Control
Lynette Cisneros
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LMHC
I work with clients who struggle with impulse control largely related to ADHD or OCD/OCPD. Areas may include excessively interrupting others to one's detriment, overcommitting to invitations/ saying 'yes' as a reflex, spending/overspending, doom scrolling and/or social media in general or going back and forth in unhealthy interpersonal relationships. In these areas we may work on increasing self awareness, acceptance of known consequences, increasing self esteem, implementing pause, asserting boundaries/healthy communication. We will also work to address the general cognitive distortions surrounding these behaviors.
