Anger Management Therapists in Elizabethton, TN
Hi and welcome! I am passionate about working with individuals on how they show up in relationships. This might look like noticing unhelpful relationship patterns but struggling to change it, having a hard time speaking up, or become easily irritated with others and later feeling guilty. This also includes goals of strengthening your connection to your partner, improving communication, or pre-marital counseling. If this is you, I'd love to talk further! I have significant experience working with veterans, LEOs, and trans/GNC clients. I also provide WPATH letters of support as part of my practice.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience helping clients. I am a proud ‘Appalachian-American’ that was born and raised deep in the mountains of Upper Northeast TN.
Although many of my personal life experiences are about what one would expect of someone growing up in East TN (cue BBQ ribs & banjo music), my work experience have been vastly different. I have been quite fortunate to get to work with individuals from quite literally all walks of life. I have worked with clients from preschool to post retirement.

For I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. Romans 7:15 NIV Life has a way of putting obstacles before us where we respond in ways that we do not wish to. Whether relational or personal, therapy can help you gain skills, gain insight and move toward a new way of being. The first step is the most difficult and I encourage you to take that step. It could be life changing.

Hello! My name is Kim Nave, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee specializing in trauma therapy and certified in EMDR. My strengths-based approach offers a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. I chose to become a therapist because my oldest daughter's struggles with addiction and mental health issues made finding appropriate help challenging for our family. Additionally, having faced trauma myself, I am passionate about guiding others on their healing journey.

You may be feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others. Anxiety, low mood, intrusive thoughts, emotional reactivity, or major life changes may make it hard to feel grounded or hopeful. Many clients I work with are thoughtful and motivated, yet feel caught in patterns that no longer serve them emotionally, relationally, or physically. They want relief, clarity, and a more meaningful way forward that aligns with who they are and what truly matters.

My approach to therapy is to respect each individual as a whole person. I believe each person knows himself or herself best. Loss of jobs, relationships, chemical addiction, life transitions, trauma, abuse and the stress of day to day living come with an array of thoughts and emotions, which at some points in our lives can become overwhelming. We start to feel like nothing can get better, and begin to self-destruct or stay stuck, out of fear of the unknown or poor habits. I use an eclectic approach, pulling together different types of therapies tailored to what would be most beneficial to the particular client.

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.
