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
Dr. Millie C. Astin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Trichotillomania or compulsive hair pulling can be devastating. However, it's really just a bad habit that has formed. The good news is habits can be changed. Habit Reversal Training and Stimulus Control are behavioral approaches to help you spot triggers, times you are more likely to pull, use competing responses instead, and to create physical barriers so that it is more difficult to pull hair.

Impulse Control
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Impulse control difficulties often reflect internal conflict, unmet emotional needs, and patterns of self-regulation formed early in life. My work integrates psychoanalytic methods and hypnosis to explore the emotional meanings beneath impulsive behavior. Together, we develop greater awareness, agency, and emotional regulation.

Paterson is one of New Jersey's largest and most ethnically diverse cities, a former industrial hub whose silk-milling heritage has given way to a dense and vibrant immigrant community spanning Dominican, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Bangladeshi, and Middle Eastern populations, with mental health needs that are correspondingly multilingual and cross-cultural. The city has a high poverty rate and limited private therapy infrastructure, and the demand for multilingual, culturally competent care—particularly in Spanish and Arabic—significantly outpaces the available supply. St. Joseph's University Medical Center in Paterson provides behavioral health services, and community organizations supplement what is a largely under-resourced formal mental health system. Common therapy concerns include immigration and refugee trauma, family stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of maintaining cultural identity and community cohesion across generations in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
