Have you experienced trauma in the past, and wonder how much this impacts your daily life, relationships, and goals now? If you are experiencing depression, low self-esteem, difficulty controlling anger, or sleep or concentration issues, trauma may be the root concern. Maybe the critic in your head beats you up over the smallest mistakes. You doubt yourself, procrastinate, and avoid facing the day. You want to imagine a day when you are able to think freely without worry; a day when you wake up feeling energized, pain-free, and fulfilled. I'd like to help you move into your potential and experience your passions full-throttle.

As a clinician I believe one can decide if an issue requires immediate action and change or if it can-or must-be accepted for what it is while they learn to make behavioral changes that can positively affect their situation. I work with my clients to start the healing process through their own self-talk, or the way they talk about traumatic events, problematic relationships, toxic behaviors, physical limitations or other issues. I work with my clients, as a team, to stop repeating thought patterns and behaviors that are contributing to negative, hurtful, and self-defeating issues.

Counseling has the potential to be the most frustrating group project that you will ever take on. I mean this sincerely. You have about 45-50 minutes a week to work through a lifetime of content, your partner does not “give you the answers,” and there’s no rubric that is handed out when you start. It is just you and another person trying to figure this life thing out, or at least that is how it looks.

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.
