Impulse Control
Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I specialize in treating impulse control disorders, offering a structured, evidence-based approach to help children and adults manage reactive behaviors and improve self-regulation. My expertise is supported by extensive post-doctoral training in a program dedicated to externalizing problems, which provides a deep understanding of the neurological and environmental factors driving impulsive actions. By integrating Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify the triggers of impulsive behavior, strengthen distress tolerance, and implement practical, intentional strategies to regain control and foster more adaptive decision-making.
