Impulse Control
Keri Downs, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Keri Downs specializes in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with impulse control disorders. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Downs utilizes a combination of evidence-based therapies to help clients manage their impulses and improve their overall functioning.
Impulse control disorders (ICDs) are characterized by difficulties in controlling aggressive or antisocial impulses, which can lead to behaviors such as angry outbursts, defiance, stealing, and rule-breaking. Dr. Downs employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients understand and manage their impulses. She also integrates mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation.
Dr. Downs’s approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, ensuring personalized care that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of impulse control disorders. She creates a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can explore their behaviors and develop effective coping strategies.
In addition to in-person sessions, Dr. Downs offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Her goal is to empower clients to achieve greater self-control and lead more balanced and fulfilling lives through compassionate and collaborative therapy.

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.

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.
