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
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.

Impulse Control
MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
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
