If you're thinking about therapy, you're taking a brave, active step toward positive change. This might be hard to see right now, when things may not be going so well, but that's how a good helping professional interprets your call for support--as evidence of your wisdom and strength. Perhaps you're thinking about therapy for reasons like these: uncomfortable feelings that just won't go away (dissatisfaction, emptiness, anger, or "overwhelm"); relationship problems; challenging life shifts or situations; problematic or self-harming behaviors; frustrating, unexplained aches and pains; or questions about identity, image, and meaning.

As a Child Therapist, I help children with coping strategies who are experiencing managing different emotions such as anger or anxiety.
Working with children and their families has always been the core of my practice. As a systems therapist, working with the family is as important as working with the child that presents for treatment. My primary focus is helping families in conflictual custody cases choose a more peaceful way of resolving problems in a more constructive and less adversarial way that minimizes the emotional pain for all family members, especially the children.

As a therapist, I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, addiction, and anger-related issues in adults and teens.
People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Their reasons may range from mild relationship difficulties to more severe problems that affect their ability to work, love, and enjoy life. Although I use empirically-supported techniques, I do not believe in “cookie-cutter” approaches. In collaboration with my clients, I work to tailor interventions that are consistent with my clients’ goals and values. There is no "one size fits all" approach, but I draw most heavily on mindfulness-enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy. I teach people to see the connections between situations, thoughts, behaviors, and emotions.

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.
