As a licensed psychotherapist with a lot of experience, I want you to know that there is always hope . . . Hope for your: marriage; personal life; family; depression; anxiety; fear;
anger
. You fill in your word. Sometimes therapy equips you with healthier coping skills like communication or better relationship skills; many people work on improving their self-esteem. Many people come to therapy saying: “I’ve lost myself,” or “I don’t know who I am.” Today we see so many hurting people; we are all stressed just from our daily lives!

anger
becoming your go-to reaction in the face of frustration or being disregarded? Not sure how to make tough decisions in relationships or at work? These are some common concerns I hear from clients.

My areas of speciality focus on marriage counseling, pre-marital counseling, depression, anxiety,
anger management
, coping skill training to face life issues, sexual addiction, chemical addiction, poor self esteem issues.
I work with individuals, couples, and families in helping them achieve control over "emotional hijacking" and poor decision making. Feelings like fear, sorrow,
anger
, rejection prevent people from experiencing connectedness with life and with others. Therefore, the ideal client is one who is struggling with relationship problems,
anger
, addictions (sexual or chemical), poor stress control, depression, or anxiety-I provide a safe environment where the individual's pain and/or struggle is met with understanding alongside a plan of action to address the issue(s).

anger
has built a huge ugly and hurtful wall around you.
Let’s say ‘thank you’ to that last angry outburst! Sounds ridiculous? Well, it WAS that last thing that finally flipped your switch. And a'googling you did go to find something to manage your
anger
, once and for all. Which lead you to me, the Men's Communication & Relationship Expert! I’ve helped 100's of men communicate well with the people who matter most...all starting with

anger
is bad and 'not angry' is good. You know it takes enormous energy to 'control' it because you've tried so hard! AND if THAT effort HAD worked, you wouldn't be here now.

Anger
Treatment Professional.
Learn how to develop more happiness; reduce life's suffering; overcome unhelpful thinking patterns, beliefs, and behaviors; and create more vitality and meaning for your life.

They are also those willing to work and do what's necessary to experience the changes they desire. Of course, they expect that of me as well, and are willing and ready to set goals to improve their experiences in life.

For many of us, mental health hasn’t always been a priority or favorite topic of discussion at the dinner table. Who wants to talk about feeling powerless, hopeless, alone or afraid? Many of us never developed healthy and sustainable practices for cultivating mental, physical, or emotional wellness. Or perhaps we once made use of such practices, but somehow drifted away from them. When our mental health is neglected, we often notice it through symptoms such as depression, anxiety, shame,
anger
, or substance abuse. We may also notice it through physical pain.

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.
