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.

Impulse Control
Dr. Rae Mazzei
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults overcome impulse control difficulties that interfere with their relationships, health, work, and overall quality of life. Impulse control challenges can include compulsive behaviors, emotional reactivity, anger outbursts, problematic spending, gambling, binge eating, and other behaviors that feel difficult to stop despite negative consequences. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and habit-reversal strategies, I help clients understand the underlying triggers driving these behaviors, strengthen self-regulation skills, and develop healthier ways of coping. My goal is to help clients gain greater control over their actions, make choices that align with their values, and create lasting positive change.

We look under the hood with hypnosis to arrive at the maladaptive beliefs and emotions associated with your specific impusle control issues. Then we safely process and clear them, and rewire with the healthier options. We can use a combination of hypnosis, NLP, EMT, Gestalt, regression, tapping, breathwork and more. With hypnosis, we literally reinstall new hardware. We hard-wire your brain to make new choices proactively and it becomes effortless, automatic and intuitive to not act impulsivley. With this protocol, you will become focused, discliplined and able to clearly see what is important in life. You will circumvent distraction. You will develop structure and routine and reward yourself when you've made the choice that supports your new goals.

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.
