I have worked with clients at a substance abuse residential treatment program for 7 years, helping them with substance abuse, bipolar, depression, anger management, and anxiety to name a few.
Hello, it’s good to see you here today. It seems that there are some things in your life, or in the lives of those who are close to you, that are causing you significant stress, otherwise you probably wouldn’t be here researching options for therapists to talk to in Florida. I specialize in anger management, workplace stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parent/child conflict and substance abuse and have been helping clients to find "the answers within" for over 20 years. A 15 minute phone call would be good too see if we are a good fit for each other. It would be helpful to know you were referred by Psychology Today.

Taking the first step to seek help can be challenging and may bring up a range of emotions. You might find yourself wondering, "How did I get here?" Whether you're struggling with anxiety, anger, self-esteem, or relationship issues, these challenges can feel overwhelming. As a therapist, one of my primary roles is to help you find balance and tap into the courage and strength you already possess.

I have experience working with individuals that have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, mood issues, anger, relationship issues, and substance abuse issues.
I believe in order to make a positive change you must be empowered to create the change you desire. Many times I see clients struggle because situations have happened to them and they identify with the hurt that has been caused. In order for growth to occur individuals need to be in charge of their own life’s circumstances. As a therapist my purpose is to guide my clients toward the goals they seek in order to manage their lives effectively.

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.
