I currently work at my day job with children 5-12, to assist with ADD, Anger, Sexual Abuse, grief etc.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then we will dive into the specific challenges you're facing. I will ask a lot of questions. Some of them may not make the most of sense to you. Some of the questions maybe nosey in your opinion. I am just wanting to gather as much information about you that I can.

Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions, weighed down by a past you can't seem to shake? Past experiences, even small ones, can leave you feeling mentally, emotionally, and physically drained. You might find yourself struggling with relationships, feeling on edge, or just not connecting with the person you know you can be. It's a heavy feeling, and you deserve a safe space to unpack it all.

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.
