Family/couples, premarital, anger management, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, and self-esteem issues are just a few of the topics that are frequently covered in counseling.
Sometimes life gets hard and just sucks. Period. End of story! Sometimes this is a result of a negative self-image, life experiences, childhood wounds, a dysregulated nervous system, or downright stinking things. Acknowledging how our core wounds and beliefs can directly impact our behaviors and feelings is the recipe for self-awareness and a meaningful life. I am dedicated to supporting my clients as they try to build a life on an internal value system, reduce symptoms, develop self-awareness, and boost confidence. If you are struggling with your relationship, sadness, stress, or just life dissatisfaction I would love to help.

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.
