Emotions can be overwhelming, in order to become more productive and positive in life we need to manage them. Therapy allows my clients to feel in control of their destiny, to regain vitality and a sense of purpose. As they work through difficult experiences, they will obtain a more balanced life with an attitude of "self-acceptance" and "flexibility". They feel revitalized and strengthened to face life's difficult situations. I also work with couples and adolescents.My clients can use their bodies and minds in a more effective coordinated way by learning techniques of relaxation and mental focus.

La sensazione di non appartenere veramente, che sia nel contesto del proprio ambiente culturale, della propria famiglia di nascita o del proprio sesso, può spesso portare a un doloroso senso di inadeguatezza, stagnazione e bassa autostima. Se non affrontati, questi sentimenti lasciano il posto alla paura e al risentimento e ci impediscono di trovare la nostra vera voce, di perseguire la nostra vocazione di vita, di formare e mantenere relazioni significative e di provare gioia. Continuare a nascondere e imbottigliare i vostri doni e desideri può solo portare ad un rimpianto a lungo termine per una vita non vissuta. C'è un altro modo

I believe that everyone has the ability to cultivate a life worth living. Through supportive psychotherapy and purposeful interaction, my clients learn to use their distress to become more authentic and connected to others. Together we explore their unique blend of culture, identity and experience, and identify the ways in which emotions, thoughts and behaviors foster or hinder their wellbeing. In therapy they gain the necessary coping skills to process feelings and act with intention to meet the demands of everyday life.

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.
