Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Impulse control disorders often feel like being hijacked by an internal force—a sudden urge that overrides your better judgment, leaving behind shame or frustration. As a therapist trained in both Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I offer a compassionate, non-pathologizing approach to help you regain inner harmony.
Instead of simply fighting your impulses, we work together to understand them.
Using IFS: We identify the "part" of you that drives the impulsive behavior—often a protective "Firefighter" part trying to soothe intense, hidden pain. By befriending this part, we can understand its positive intention, reduce its extreme reactivity, and heal the underlying "exile" it is protecting.
Using EFT: We tune into the immediate bodily sensations and primary emotions (like fear, sadness, or shame) that trigger your actions. We create a safe space to process these emotions, allowing you to move from reactive patterns to responsive, self-compassionate choices.
Together, we will shift from "What is wrong with me?" to "What is this part trying to do for me?" and foster a calm, confident "Self" that leads your internal system.

Jordan Dye - Prepared Acceptance
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMT
For professionals accustomed to high-adrenaline environments, impulse control disorders often emerge as a way to cope with the "crash" that happens after a shift or a deployment. Rather than viewing these behaviors as a lack of discipline, I focus on identifying the specific, underlying emotion—whether it is unresolved anger, numbness, or high-functioning anxiety—that is driving the urge to act. My approach moves away from simply "numbing" the impulse and instead works on processing the emotional engine behind it, giving you back the control you've lost. Drawing on my background in the military and emergency services, I provide a direct, tactical framework to help you recognize these triggers in real-time and replace reactive behaviors with sustainable, intentional responses.
