Clarissa Lyle
Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate, LPCC

Buena Vista, CO 81211
Healing often begins quietly, with the simple hope that life can feel different. If the weight of past experiences has made the world feel overwhelming, painful, or even numb, I want you to know that you do not have to face it alone; I want you to know you are worthy of a space where you are met with compassion and non-judgement. As an LPCC, I am passionate about helping individuals to understand, connect with, and nurture their nervous systems, ultimately supporting them to heal from past wounds, break patterns that no longer serve them, and engage with the world with curiosity, resilience, and clarity.

Stepping out of your comfort zone can be a difficult experience. In order to grow we must take that leap. My role is to join individuals taking those risks and create a safe place to explore the possibilities. My approach can help people develop new insights into themselves by healing trauma and recognizing their inherent strengths. Using their own strengths people grow confidence to be their true self. I specialize in working with athletes, first responders, and survivors of disaster, but I am open to working with anyone wanting to improve their mental health and/or heal from their trauma.

Do you feel as though you are stuck in a black hole and are hanging on to the side by your fingernails, desperately trying not to be overcome by those feelings? Do you feel as though you can't relax and simply enjoy the moment? Do you feel as though no one understands you and appreciates you for who you are, rather than what you do? If so, I can help you get to a point where you can say what you think in a respectful manner and feel as though you are understood and accepted by those who matter to you. There is no magic pill that will do this. But it is an entirely do-able task.

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.
