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.

XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
Struggles with impulse control—whether spending, eating, substances, or outbursts—often carry shame. I help you understand the feelings and body sensations underneath the urge, without judgment. Together, we build self-regulation skills, increase pause between impulse and action, and address underlying trauma or stress that may be driving the behavior.

Impulse control is a big topic that encompasses many things such as binge eating, anger management issues, drug and alcohol abuse, self harm, anxiety, and much more. All are the result of emotional triggers that set off the behavior and often the client doesn't realize what initiates the negative response. The first thing is to uncover exactly what it is that triggers the problem behavior and then neutralize the trigger or provide a positive trigger in its place. Often, simply understanding what starts the unwanted response goes a long way towards change. This is, again, one of the bread and butter issues that hypnotherapists successfully deal with every day.c

Aurora is one of Illinois's largest cities and serves as a western anchor of the Chicago metro — with a large Latino population (predominantly Mexican American), a growing South Asian community, and a blue-collar manufacturing heritage that shapes its therapy culture. The city's historically Hispanic east side has distinct mental health needs rooted in immigration stress, economic precarity, and bilingual family dynamics, while the more affluent far east side neighborhoods generate demand for therapists working with professional stress and relationship concerns. Rush Copley Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community that serves Aurora and the broader Fox Valley corridor. Aurora's affordability relative to Chicago has made it a destination for families seeking more space, and therapists frequently encounter the adjustment challenges and social isolation that come with suburban relocation.
