For the past 18 years, I have been providing therapy to children, teens, adults, parents and families. I work with individuals suffering through depression, anxiety, grief, anger, trauma, mood fluctuations and behavioral issues, by emotional-bodily processing & reworking old family, archetypal, communication and thought patterns that may no longer be serving your growth in a safe, supporting, nurturing and non-judgmental space. My approach is a holistic one that incorporates the mental, emotional, physical & spiritual realms to help bring about symptom relief and empowered change.

You want to feel happy, free and get out of your head but are struggling to get there on your own. Maybe you related to Ted Lasso when he had a panic attack at a football game and had to walk away; you may have thought "omg samee!" Or maybe you relate to the main character in Never Have I Ever, trying to heal after a traumatic year but your thoughts and feelings keep getting in the way. Guilt, shame, fear (is a liar by the way), sadness, excessive worry, anger, unresolved hurt...all these are very human emotions and there is hope! And if you're a person of faith, guess what, you can have Jesus AND a therapist!

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.
