Are you struggling with anger? Whether you’re dealing with frequent outbursts, simmering frustration, or challenges in your relationships, our therapy sessions offer practical, evidence-based techniques to help you regain control. Through personalized strategies, we'll work together to identify the root causes of your anger, develop healthier responses, and build lasting emotional resilience.
Anger has a tendency to isolate you from the people you love, but that doesn't mean you should navigate it alone. Together, we will identify the root causes of your anger and create practical, effective strategies to help you manage it. Our aim is to support you in reclaiming control, bringing balance back into your life, and achieving the emotional freedom you deserve.
Feeling Out of Control: You feel overwhelmed by your anger, as if it controls you, rather than you controlling it.
Aggressive Behavior: Your anger leads to aggressive or violent actions, whether verbally, emotionally, or physically.
Difficulty Letting Go: You struggle to move past situations that make you angry, holding onto resentment for extended periods.
Physical symptoms: You experience physical signs of anger, such as a racing heart, clenched fists, or tight muscles, even in non-threatening situations.
Impact on Relationships: Your anger is causing tension, arguments, or distance in your relationships with family, friends, or colleagues.
Frequent Outbursts: You find yourself losing your temper regularly, often over minor irritations.
Anger is a natural and healthy emotion that everyone experiences. It can alert us to injustices, motivate us to take action, and protect us when we feel threatened. However, when anger begins to dominate your thoughts, behaviors, and interactions, it can quickly take over your life.
Uncontrolled anger can lead to strained relationships, poor decision-making, and a sense of powerlessness. It’s important to recognize when anger is no longer serving its purpose and is instead causing harm, so you can take steps toward regaining balance and control.
Therapy is personalized to your specific needs but will likely include strategies such as goal setting, identifying common triggers of your anger, and the implementation of coping strategies to help you achieve long-term success.
Therapy can provide you with enhanced self-awareness, more effective coping strategies, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution skills which can then lead to improved relationships, reduced stress, and increased emotional freedom.
Anger management therapy is ideal for anyone who feels their anger is negatively impacting their life, relationships, or well-being. This therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals who frequently struggle with intense emotions, have difficulty controlling their temper, or experience anger that leads to aggressive behavior, conflicts, or feelings of regret.
The duration of anger management therapy varies depending on individual needs and goals. Many people benefit from 8 to 12 sessions, while others may require a longer or shorter period. During the initial assessment, your therapist will discuss a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your specific challenges and objectives.

Three types include outward anger (expressed aggressively), and passive-aggressive anger (expressed indirectly), and assertive anger: This is generally considered the healthiest way to express anger and thus is a vital focus in therapy. Assertive anger involves acknowledging and communicating your feelings directly, respectfully, and constructively. It focuses on addressing the underlying issue or problem without resorting to blame, attacks, or suppression.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is frequently recommended for anger management. It focuses on helping individuals recognize and modify negative thinking patterns and maladaptive behaviors that contribute to anger issues. The American Psychological Association highlights CBT as an evidence-based treatment for various mental health conditions, including those involving anger. Similarly, the World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes the effectiveness of psychological therapies like CBT in addressing emotional and behavioral problems.
