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.

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.
