Keeping silent and being the good Asian or the model minority is what is often expected of us. This involves not only our own self-perception but the perception of the world and what society expects of us. We not only have our own expectations of ourselves, but this comes from our families and others. Through thoughtful questions, guidance and empathy discussions and processing will take place. This will include making art to find expression and use creativity to as an important outlet. Topics such as Intergenerational trauma, parent’s expectation, guilt, shame, and identity will be explored.

Finding someone who "gets you" is frustrating and emotionally draining. Perhaps you don't know what you want, but you're looking for someone to listen and hear your story. Your thoughts and feelings are unique and precious. Being able to understand why you feel the way you do about things is worth exploring. If you're feeling "stuck", burdened or in a frustrating relationship, I would like to help you connect with yourself through self awareness and exploring those feelings together. Once you talk about those difficult things, it will allow you to connect with your own emotions and heal what feels broken. Hope is what you need.

Anger Management Support Groups
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.
