Impulse Control Disorders
Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Impulses take many shapes and forms and oftentimes, can make an individual feel so powerless and frustrated with why they may feel or behave the way that they do. We may ask ourselves "why do I want to do this" or "why do I do this", and answering these questions is the first step in treatment. I take a proactive approach in creating a treatment protocol for clients with impulse control issues to aid them in alleviating the problematic behaviour(s).

Impulse Control Disorders
Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Impulse control disorder is another mental disorder that is an improperly used term in pop media as it is usual to have routines that make us better even though it would not distress us if we could not do them. ICD on the other hand is when these routines start to impact the sufferer’s life, they inhibit them from fully functioning daily. Thus, people with ICD can feel as though their impulses and behaviours are outside of their control and are somehow unnatural.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
