Anger Management Therapists in East Liberty, PA
You don’t have to hold it all together.
If you’re feeling anxious, burned out, or untethered in a world that’s constantly shifting, you’re not alone. Many of my clients are Gen Z, Millennials, or Xennials who are trying to make meaning in chaotic times—queer, creative, neurodivergent, or otherwise nonconforming folks who are exhausted by trying to fit into systems that don’t fit them.
You might be longing for clarity in who you are, steadiness in your relationships, or relief from that low hum of existential dread. You move through your day with the ache of being awake to a world in collapse and still wanting to live fully.

Hi! I'm Brittany, a neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. I offer a safe space for all, as we work collaboratively within a calm, supportive and non-judgmental environment. It would be a privilege to work with you, as I utilize my therapeutic approach to gain a better understanding of yourself, how you relate and navigate the interpersonal relationships in your life, your environment, or however you choose to utilize your therapy.

I help people to develop a sense of control and safety in exploring their thoughts, memories and feelings; who are having a hard time and want to make a change; and who find it difficult to control anger, sadness, anxiety, mood swings, stress, to trust others or have close relationships.
I recognize not all problems we face are in our minds: injustice abounds. My approach helps to give clarity to emotions and develop insight on how best to move ahead. I work with a wide range of people including those with histories of childhood abuse, those who are at a loss, in a life transition; or who can’t point to any reason for how they feel.

I have 31 years of experience providing counseling. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, stressing that what we think determines what we feel and what we do. For many reasons, people learn unrealistic or destructive thoughts that cause them problems in their lives. Therapy works towards more realistic thinking, and avoiding old and destructive thinking. As I like to say, therapy is a conversation with a destination, and realistic thinking is that destination.

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.
