My name is Jose Ramirez and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA. I believe we all deserve balance and well-being and that therapy is an effective route in this endeavor. I believe therapy is a guided partnership in understanding and establishing our roles, experiences, boundaries, and expectations in the pursuit of balance, well-being, and the ability to roll with the punches in life. I have had varied clinical experiences working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Focusing on anxiety, depression, anger, and substance use. I enjoy working with adults and individuals looking for growth in these areas.

I am trained in the following evidence-based practices: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Dialectical Behavioral Therapy; Seeking Safety; Anger Management.
The work to change and grow can be hard, but it is well worth it. I believe that the fruits of wellness and recovery done earnestly are plentiful: love, joy, peace, self-determination, self-empowerment, growth, change, to name a few. In my work, I view the whole person - mind, body, and spirit - and tailor my interventions that draw on strengths to meet the unique needs of each person. I provide a safe space free of judgment to work through issues together, a space where you feel understood and know that you are heard.

The most fascinating and important part of my job as a therapist is how to have a really good conversation. It may sound too simple, but it cuts to the heart of what to expect from therapy. Through good conversation, you experience connection and understanding. When we are understood, difficult feelings change with resulting freedoms to engage life. Trained both as a Marriage and Family therapist and a psychoanalyst, I work with complex relationship issues, divorce and blended families, depression, anxiety, addictions, men's issues, and sexual trauma recovery, and integration of psychology and faith/spirituality.

Anger Management Therapists

How long does therapy take for anger management?

Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?

Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?

Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
