Impulse Control Disorders
Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Impulse control challenges—such as difficulty resisting urges to steal, gamble, or lash out—can leave you feeling frustrated, ashamed, or out of control. These behaviors often develop as a way of coping with stress, strong emotions, or unmet needs, but they can disrupt relationships, work, and self-esteem. In therapy, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to better understand your triggers, build healthier coping strategies, and strengthen your ability to pause before reacting. Together, we’ll work on reducing harmful patterns, developing emotional regulation skills, and creating a greater sense of balance and self-control in your daily life.

Impulse Control Disorders
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for impulse control disorders, compulsive behaviors, emotional reactivity, and difficulty managing urges that interfere with relationships, work performance, decision-making, or overall quality of life. Many high-functioning and high-achieving individuals struggle privately with impulsive behaviors, emotional overwhelm, compulsive habits, anger, risk-taking, or difficulty slowing down and feeling in control of their reactions.
These patterns are often not simply about “lack of discipline” or willpower. Impulse control difficulties are commonly connected to unresolved trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, attachment wounds, or nervous system patterns developed over time. Many clients find themselves repeating behaviors they intellectually understand but emotionally feel unable to stop.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to impulse control therapy, helping clients identify and address the deeper emotional and psychological factors contributing to impulsive patterns. Therapy focuses on increasing emotional awareness, strengthening self-regulation, reducing reactivity, and creating healthier ways of responding to stress, emotions, and interpersonal challenges.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, mindfulness-based techniques, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support lasting change. Treatment is designed to help clients process unresolved emotional experiences, improve executive functioning and emotional control, and develop healthier coping strategies that support both personal and professional success.
Brad works collaboratively with clients to create a personalized treatment plan based on their unique experiences, goals, and lifestyle demands. Therapy provides a supportive, confidential, and non-judgmental environment where clients can better understand the root causes of impulsive behavior while developing practical tools for lasting emotional balance and behavioral change.
Many successful individuals appear composed externally while internally struggling with stress, pressure, compulsive patterns, or emotional overwhelm. Brad’s approach helps clients move beyond short-term coping patterns and create meaningful, sustainable improvements in emotional health, relationships, confidence, and overall functioning.
The goal of therapy is not only symptom management, but helping clients gain greater clarity, emotional stability, self-control, and fulfillment so they can live and perform at their highest level with greater peace, confidence, and authenticity.
Virtual counseling and online EMDR therapy sessions are available, providing confidential and convenient access to specialized trauma-focused therapy from the comfort and privacy of home.

Tiyahna M
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC,LPCMH,NCC,C-DBT
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients with impulse control disorders understand the thoughts, emotions, and triggers that drive impulsive behaviors. Treatment focuses on increasing awareness, strengthening self-regulation skills, and developing practical strategies to pause, choose differently, and tolerate urges without acting on them. The approach is structured, collaborative, and tailored to support lasting behavior change while building a stronger sense of control and confidence.
