Accepting New Clients- I specialize in EMDR Therapy/PTSD. Disturbing events from the past can negatively impact the present sometimes manifested by intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, feelings of anger/anxiety, and overall reduction in optimal functioning. EMDR helps to process these memories, decreasing and ultimately neutralizing the emotional charge. It eliminates constant unpleasant reminders and rids us of continued negative messages tied to the memories. It is not possible to change what happened, but EMDR helps change how you feel related to past experiences to move forward with peace. I can help you with this.

There is an old saying: "Never give a sword to a person who can't dance". This wisdom speaks directly to minds that are stuck and cannot move rhythmically but are bound to fear, anxiety and neglect. When our minds become inflexible, we cut ourselves away from our intuitive self, causing suffering and pain. Only with the experience of standing unbiased and naked in "another's shoes" can we really know we are clear and authentic. When we become authentic, we receive confidence. Confidence begets creativity and with creativity we discover our life.

I am Diandrea, a Licensed Master of Social Work with a passion for creating a safe place where people feel comfortable and heard. I work with adolescents, teens, and young adults who are often misunderstood. I have experience working in schools and in a clinical setting where I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, major life transitions, and self-esteem. I understand that growing up is not easy. There’s pressure to fit in, identity crisis starts to begin, puberty, and feeling unsure of yourself and what's to come in the future. People can tend to shut down and isolate and find themselves in a negative headspace.

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.
