Impulse Control
Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Difficulty managing impulses can lead to patterns that feel overwhelming or out of control—whether it's outbursts, compulsive behaviors, or risky actions. In therapy, I help clients explore the underlying emotional and neurological factors contributing to these behaviors, while building practical tools for self-regulation and awareness. Using evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and emotion regulation strategies, we work to strengthen impulse control, reduce distress, and foster more intentional, balanced decision-making.

Treatment focuses on increasing self-awareness, improving decision-making skills, and building practical tools to pause and respond more intentionally in moments of distress.

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.
