Impulse Control
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.

Impulse Control
Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Struggling with impulses can create cycles of shame, regret, secrecy, or feeling out of control. Therapy can help you slow down the space between urge and action, understand what triggers certain behaviours, and build skills for emotional regulation and values-based decision-making. My approach is compassionate, practical, and focused on helping you regain a sense of choice.

Montreal's bilingual, bicultural identity shapes its therapy landscape, with many therapists offering services in both French and English to serve the city's English-speaking communities alongside Quebec's Francophone majority. The city's large student population across McGill, Concordia, and Université de Montréal generates consistent demand for therapists addressing academic stress, young adult transitions, and identity. Montreal's arts and creative sector also sustains demand for therapists who understand the pressures of creative careers, financial precarity, and performance anxiety. The Douglas Mental Health University Institute provides major institutional mental health research and care, complemented by the city's extensive private and CLSC-based therapy network.
