Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Keri Downs specializes in treating children, adolescents, and young adults with impulse control disorders. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Downs utilizes a combination of evidence-based therapies to help clients manage their impulses and improve their overall functioning.

Dr. Downs’s approach is tailored to each client’s unique needs, ensuring personalized care that addresses both the symptoms and underlying causes of impulse control disorders. She creates a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can explore their behaviors and develop effective coping strategies.
In addition to in-person sessions, Dr. Downs offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes.
