Dr. Matthew Clyde
Psychologist, PhD
Impulse control challenges can make life feel like a series of "act now, regret later" moments. Whether it involves shopping, gambling, hair pulling, or explosive outbursts, these behaviors often serve as a misguided attempt to soothe internal distress. Therapy provides a non-judgmental space to slow down the process between the urge and the action. We work on strengthening your "inhibitory muscles" and finding healthier ways to cope with the tension that drives impulsive acts.

Online in Gatineau, QC
Gatineau sits directly across the Ottawa River from Canada's capital and functions as the Quebec side of the Ottawa-Gatineau National Capital Region, with a predominantly French-speaking population of federal government workers who access many services in both official languages. The city's identity is distinct from Ottawa — more working-class and francophone in character — and French-language therapy is the norm, with access to English-speaking practitioners limited relative to the Ontario side of the river. CISSS de l'Outaouais provides public mental health resources, and many Gatineau residents access the broader Ottawa-Gatineau therapy ecosystem via the bridges connecting both cities. Therapists here frequently encounter the stresses of public service careers, bilingual professional demands, and the particular challenges of raising families in a bicultural, bilingual metro area.
