Therapy may seem intimidating, even scary. It’s not easy to talk to a stranger about your issues. But you’re feeling unhappy with your life, you have a difficult time saying "no", you get easily irritable and feel guilt, you’ve been feeling on edge, and you have been experiencing constant panic that’s affecting your social life. You may also be struggling to find balance between your many roles in life. You no longer have to worry to the point of fatigue, and you can get back to getting a good night’s rest. You can have control over your life, feel confident, and feel empowered again. It’s okay to put your mental health first!

Sometimes we imagine our life to be just a little different. And although we can not control everything in our life, we can at the very least work on ourselves. When we work on ourselves, for example, anxiety, PTSD, depression, grief, to name a few, we can learn to cope with the things we can not change to make our tomorrow just a bit better.

I specialize in Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Crisis, Anger, Adolescent, Men's issues, and Self-esteem problems.
At times, we may not have been taught how to navigate our emotions, process our thoughts, or ask for help. I've encountered individuals who, despite their strength, felt uneasy about seeking assistance. This is a natural response; you've had to be resilient. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't have the opportunity to process these experiences; you have every right to acknowledge your emotions and should be able to thrive and lead a healthier life. If you allow me, I can offer you a secure and non-judgmental environment to explore these emotions and thoughts, and together, we can strive for more positive perspectives.

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.
