A client calling to make an appointment is admirable. That client is making the step to reach out and get the help that they need. The world can be a tough place and navigating the world can be a challenge. It can also be difficult figuring out yourself and what you are to this world. I want to work with a client with that navigation and teach skills that can help that client be able to cope.

Within each of us lies the answers but so often we don't listen, or can't hear, that voice. Therapy can help to quiet the mind and allow that voice to speak and be heard. When we follow its words we find exactly where we need to be. My goal in therapy is to help clients to find that voice and listen to it because it holds the answers we seek-It holds the map for the journey we are on.

Each individual that comes into counseling has their own unique story, background, and reason for seeking help at that time. Therefore, it is crucial for me as a therapist to meet you where you are at, and to help you explore your own journey with compassion and non-judgement. In the counseling setting, I strive to give hope when people feel hopeless, inspire others to be all that they are capable of being, and ultimately watch clients walk away from their counseling experience feeling capable and excited to live their own personal journey.

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.
