Trauma, anxiety, and depression often lead to sadness, anger, or other complicated feelings.
Therapy is a collaborative/interactive process that allows you the freedom as well as the privacy to discuss issues that are too painful or difficult to discuss with your family and/or friends. Together, we will explore what brings you distress as well as what brings you relief. Therapy is designed to help empower you to accomplish mental health wellness and treatment goals. For therapy to be most effective, it is imperative that you take an active part in your treatment journey.

Accepting New Day Time and/or Telehealth Clients. If there is one thing I can guarantee will occur in this life it is change. Change is an ongoing journey that builds off of one’s core belief system and values. People tend to fear change due to this feeling of loss that is associated with it. My goal is to help you look at life change as a process rather than an end point. Do people have an endpoint or is continual evolution occurring throughout one’s lifetime? I would like to believe that people are ever growing- meaning change is constantly occurring.

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.
