It's easy to feel overwhelmed these days. Crazy-busy lifestyles, excessive work demands, financial worries, work/life imbalances, relationship conflict, worry about the future..to name a few of the issues that can exhaust our reserves and lead to emotional distress. I have over 30 years of clinical practice as a psychologist, helping adults, couples, and adolescents who have been affected by depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, grief, relationship conflict, and mood disorders. Clients not only recover from their current distress, but also to learn how to become more resilient and "bullet-proof" against future stressors.

Why? Because they’re sustainable, lead to better functioning, and offer options: the freedom to be who you are without constant fear, sadness, anger or despair.
Your interest in reducing your mental distress is a really big step. I’d say it’s 90% of the battle. What it really means is that despite having a brain that is really good at anxiety and/or irritability and depression (among many others), you’re able to find the willingness to consider making a change. Anxious brains don’t like change, risk, unknowns. So, well done…really! What can I do to help? I will explore your history, symptoms, what’s helped, what hasn’t, and what is making it worse and review the big picture with you. I value keeping things as simple as possible.

I have used Play Therapy and Theraplay to help children and their families grow through several different issues such as: failure to thrive, challenging behavior, anger management, trauma, attachment disorders, and much more.
As a Play Therapist and Theraplay therapist, I focus on children's social and emotional well-being. When children struggle either socially or emotionally, they are unable to learn. That is because they are not present and focused on their learning environment and what is happening in their classroom. I will help build relationships and help your child build their social and emotional skills.

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.
