Whether it’s anxiety, relationships, or feeling stuck, therapy can help you understand what’s going on, make sense of your patterns, and start making changes that actually last in your day to day life.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, or disconnected—from yourself or in your relationships—you’re not alone. Maybe you find yourself overreacting and then regretting it, shutting down when things feel too intense, or repeating the same conflicts over and over. You might struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or feeling like you’re “too much” or “not enough” at the same time.
For many individuals, these patterns are rooted in early relationships—especially the relationship with their mother or primary caregiver.

It's your friendly neighborhood mental health therapist (with a side of sarcasm and a dash of humor).

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.
