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.

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.

Impulse Control
Sarah Green
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Urges to pull, pick, lash out, or act on other impulses can feel automatic, and they often come with a lot of shame. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and CBT-based strategies to help you understand what triggers the urge, build tolerance for the discomfort without acting on it, and find replacement behaviors that meet the same need. We'll approach setbacks with curiosity instead of judgment.

Impulse Control
XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT, RYT-200
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.
