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

Impulse Control
Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults overcome impulse control difficulties that interfere with their relationships, health, work, and overall quality of life. Impulse control challenges can include compulsive behaviors, emotional reactivity, anger outbursts, problematic spending, gambling, binge eating, and other behaviors that feel difficult to stop despite negative consequences. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and habit-reversal strategies, I help clients understand the underlying triggers driving these behaviors, strengthen self-regulation skills, and develop healthier ways of coping. My goal is to help clients gain greater control over their actions, make choices that align with their values, and create lasting positive change.

Impulse Control
Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
We live in a world that has designed the information technology system to condition people to respond to life based on emotion and impulse. As a matter of environmental conditioning, our daily interactions are conditioning us to respond to life based on impulse. Its no wonder that people struggle with impulse control disorders. At Growth and Change Counseling we collaborate with you to empower you to reclaim your decision making process, slow down decisions and responses, and increase frustration tolerance. This counteracts the compulsive needs of many for immediate gratification.

Impulse Control
MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Impulse Control Disorders, such as compulsive shopping, gambling, or hair-pulling, can be challenging to manage due to the powerful urges that drive these behaviors. Hypnotherapy offers a promising approach by helping individuals access underlying subconscious triggers and reprogram automatic responses. Through guided relaxation and suggestion, hypnotherapists work with clients to strengthen self-control, increase awareness of urges, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. This process can foster improved impulse regulation and reduce the frequency and intensity of impulsive behaviors, especially when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan alongside behavioral therapies and medical support.

Independence is a Kansas City suburb with a distinctive character rooted in its historical significance as the starting point of the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails and as the world headquarters of the Community of Christ—a significant Latter Day Saint denomination—as well as being the hometown of President Harry S. Truman, a combination that gives the city a particular civic identity unusual for a suburb of its size. The religious community anchored by the Community of Christ Temple creates both a strong support network and specific mental health considerations around faith, doubt, and community belonging for those navigating their relationship with the church. Centerpoint Medical Center and the broader Kansas City health system provide behavioral health resources to Independence and surrounding communities. Common therapy concerns include faith and spiritual identity, commuter stress from the Kansas City metro, economic anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the particular dynamics of a community where civic pride and religious heritage are deeply intertwined.
