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.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address impulse control disorders by integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles to guide individuals toward healthier behaviors and spiritual growth. Recognizing the challenges associated with impulse control, I incorporate biblical teachings on self-control, discipline, and reliance on God's strength. The therapeutic process involves exploring the root causes of impulsive behaviors, understanding triggers, and developing coping mechanisms in alignment with Christian values. I encourage prayer, scriptural reflection, and reliance on faith as tools for managing impulses. Collaborating with clients to establish a balance between psychological strategies and spiritual resources, I aim to empower individuals to exercise self-discipline and make choices that align with their Christian beliefs. This integrated approach seeks to promote personal growth, emotional well-being, and a deeper connection with one's faith in overcoming 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.

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.

Greensboro is home to multiple universities — including the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, North Carolina A&T State University, and Guilford College — creating significant student mental health demand and a historically grounded HBCU community with deep connections to the civil rights movement. The city's textile and furniture manufacturing heritage has given way to healthcare, education, and distribution as primary economic drivers, and therapists frequently address occupational transitions and the identity challenges of a post-industrial workforce. Cone Health provides major institutional mental health resources, alongside a private practice community serving the Fisher Park and Irving Park neighborhoods. Greensboro's significant Vietnamese, Korean, and Latino communities drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
