Anger Management Therapists in Montclair, NJ

Inevitably we all encounter profound disappointments and trauma in our life-time. The resulting pain which lingers, may cause physical or emotional symptoms such as confusion, excessive anger , fear, anxiety, and/or depression. Such symptoms make achieving one's life's goals difficult. The goal of psychotherapy is to relieve these debilitating symptoms. Working with adult individuals, I create an environment that facilitates an honest and open exchange between patient and therapist. My goal is to identify the source of symptoms and to increase my patient's quality of life by restoring a sense of balance of body and mind.

I specialize in treating problems related to anger , anxiety, and depression using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques. I help clients develop healthier thinking patterns and relationships, while also teaching concrete coping skills.

I have been in practice for over twenty five years and have treated people who have presented with a variety of concerns. I have worked with many clients with depression, anxiety issues, self esteem issues, PTSD and anger management . I am currently facilitating groups for women and men. Each group meets once a week. I also conduct groups for boys with social skill issues one each for middle school boys and one for grammar school boys. I am a United States Air Force Veteran.

I believe that people are resilient and capable of overcoming very difficult situations. To that end, I am very interested in helping people reach their goals and to engage more fully in their personal and professional lives. As your therapist, my attention is focused on empowering you to find solutions that work in your life, that address your needs. My goal is to provide individualized care and to engage you in the process of change so that you can take control and move toward your chosen goals.

There is something in the human spirit that recognizes that our lives can be changed. A spark of possibility lives alongside our confusion, loss, anxiety, anger or trauma. Working with an experienced therapist provides a chance to access those possibilities, understand ourselves and our circumstances better, and bring about the changes that we want and need.

Are you looking to make a shift? I am licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with individuals, couples, families, and groups. I believe therapy can be seen as a process of unpacking. Things often go unsaid, which can manifest into various effects on the body, such as anxiety. Although staying with your emotions can be difficult, it can often be the pathway to healing. My clinical experience has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of our environment and relationships, as well as the positive shifts that can take place when offered supportive and validating resources.

I will provide quality mental health services to clients ages 5-65+. I will work with clients to improve their quality of life for themselves and their families.

I work with a large range of people and am interested in individual and cultural differences. I am comfortable asking questions and learning. We will be having a conversation with the goal of helping you understand yourself, your motivations and your relationships. I view this as a collaboration. I like to be challenged and I hope that you like to be challenged also. We will talk about your present, your past and your goals for the future. I can do relatively short term or relatively long term treatment.

"I can, I'm capable, I have the capacity." My goal is to help you recognize these truths and use your strengths to improve your ability to cope with the difficulties you are going through. I view therapy as a collaborative process. Through our relationship, I will learn about your strengths and challenges and help bring you an awareness of both. We will also work on reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression or other roadblocks that are hurting your relationships or preventing you from achieving the things you aspire to. I'm interested in helping you challenge your negative assumptions and/or limitations about yourself.

Our experiences mold us in various ways. If I were to imagine a plant that captures what happens to many of us when faced with challenging and persistent experiences, the CACTUS comes to mind. Like the CACTUS, we develop tougher skin and spikes to protect ourselves from problematic situations. When not processed correctly, the development of these characteristics may detract attention from the other powerful properties we possess. For some, the CACTUS may be the least appealing plant. When given the time to learn about it, you discover that the CACTUS is extremely resilient, powerful, beautiful and filled with wonders.

Recovery is not a solitary journey; it is about connection with self and others. As we enter into the process of therapy you will have the opportunity to experience inner connection and awareness leading to Self expansion and outer growth. I believe strongly that our primary task is to continue your journey of self exploration; to seek the wealth of potential, strength, compassion, understanding, and openness that lies within. It is your ability to connect with these that will serve as your greatest asset in obtaining whatever goals you have coming into therapy.
