Impulse Control
New Path Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor
We work with individuals who struggle with managing impulsive behaviors, such as compulsive shopping, gambling, or anger outbursts. These disorders can disrupt personal relationships, professional success, and overall well-being. Our approach is tailored to each individual, helping them understand the underlying triggers for impulsivity and develop healthier coping strategies. Using evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), our therapists guide clients in gaining greater self-awareness, improving emotional regulation, and enhancing their ability to make thoughtful, intentional decisions. Our goal is to empower individuals to break free from impulsive cycles, regain control over their actions, and build a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Impulse Control
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychotherapist, Psychoanalyst
Impulsive behaviors often bring us much-needed relief in the moment, even though they later can lead to shame and/or regret. Rather than viewing these behaviors as failures of self-control, I like to instead ask clients what the impulse expresses or helps you manage. In other words, what language is the impulsive behavior communicating unconsciously? Together we can explore the feelings, conflicts, and relational patterns that precede acting impulsively, including experiences that may be difficult to recognize or put into words.

Impulse Control
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.
