Anger Management Therapists in Kingsport, TN
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.

Hi! I'm Ryan Woodzell. I know coming to therapy can be a scary thing. It takes courage, strength, and power to take the steps to go to and actively participate in the ways that you need.

You may have had experiences with therapy that make you feel like it doesn't work or that it isn't for you. I would love to be able to join you in your journey, help you process and explore those difficulties, and move toward a better place in your life.

To work through anger, depression, anxiety, and addiction, and pick up something more real and meaningful to follow?
What if you could not just heal from your trauma of the past and work through your current problems in life, but make for yourself a way of living that helps prevent future crises or tragedies from completely upending your life? Instead of just learning a bunch of coping skills to avoid tough topics and feelings that may keep you from growing at best, and actively make your depressive and anxiety symptoms elevated at worst, we dealt with the problem at hand and used the lessons learned to keep you from having to go to therapy, again, years later?

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.
