Joan D. Atwood's Groups
Anger Management-Children, Teens, Adults
Is your anger getting in the way of your happiness? Is it affecting your relationships at home or work? MFTNY has taken the lead in offering a premier Anger Management Program. This Program was developed by Dr. Atwood and is based on years of research and clinical work. It is accredited, via Dr. Atwood's Diplomate status, by the National Anger Management Organization. We specialize in Court Referred and Voluntary Anger Management Programs in an Individual and Group Setting. A Certificate of Completion is awarded at the end of ten sessions. The Program is available for Children, Teens, and Adults.

Do you often ask yourself, "what was I thinking?" when you look at your spouse? Do you have fantasies of quiting your six figure job and running off with the landscaper? Do you feel that your children adopted you because they couldn't possibly be yours? This is an empowerment group for women given by women for women's issues. We laugh; we cry; and we bond.
