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.

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.

Impulse Control
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.

Impulse Control
Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in treating impulse control disorders, offering a structured, evidence-based approach to help children and adults manage reactive behaviors and improve self-regulation. My expertise is supported by extensive post-doctoral training in a program dedicated to externalizing problems, which provides a deep understanding of the neurological and environmental factors driving impulsive actions. By integrating Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify the triggers of impulsive behavior, strengthen distress tolerance, and implement practical, intentional strategies to regain control and foster more adaptive decision-making.
