Anger Management and Counseling in Clearwater, FL.

I offer skills training to help individuals learn to be assertive rather than passive or aggressive. We will utilize scenarios and rehearse more effective ways of dealing with other people's anger and your own anger. We live in a fast paced, complex, multi faceted society with many stressors coming at us from poor driver's to rude service people. There are many opportunities every day to allow ourselves to express anger inappropriately. My goal is to help individuals learn effective coping strategies and ways to express & deal with anger appropriately. But also, behind anger is usually a lot of pain or hurt. It is important to learn the source of that pain.

Have you ever found yourself facing moments of intense anger, unsure of how to channel this powerful emotion? You're not alone. Uncontrolled anger can cast a shadow over various aspects of life, affecting relationships, career opportunities, and your overall well-being. Though I do not run anger management groups or participate in court-ordered therapy, I do work with individuals who are wanting to understand what fuels their anger. Imagine a life where the energy once consumed by anger becomes a catalyst for positive loving change. By learning to navigate the complexities of this emotion, you can enhance relationships, boost your career prospects, and create a more fulfilling life overall.

In my experience as an EMDR therapist, I pay close attention to the links between past and present. I’ve seen time and time again how unhealed emotional wounds resurface and come out sideways. While anger management can provide helpful strategies, they don’t get to the heart of the issue. Often, anger is what we see on the surface, but the real problem is what’s underneath the anger. Negative beliefs like “I’m helpless,” “I’m out of control,” and “I’m a failure,” start to bubble up, and anger comes to the rescue. It can get us in trouble, but at least it gets the blood pumping. With research-proven EMDR therapy, I help men heal anger at its source so it doesn’t have to be managed.

Anger can be a powerful emotion, but when it feels overwhelming or out of control, it can disrupt your life and relationships. My approach to anger management is focused on understanding the root causes of your anger, identifying triggers, and developing practical strategies to respond in healthier ways. Together, we’ll create a supportive space to explore your emotions, build self-awareness, and learn techniques to manage anger constructively. You’ll gain tools to foster better communication, reduce conflict, and regain control.

We help our clients to have greater understanding of themselves and their interactions with others to improve the quality of their relationships. We utilize mindfulness, self-exploration, and self-soothing techniques to help improve clients' emotional regulation skills. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR or ART, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Existential Therapy are especially helpful for healing trauma and improving interpersonal interactions with others.

I often coach men on how to better regulate their emotions, including anger. I can teach you strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, provide relationship insights from the Gottman Method, and help you practice calming strategies to take control back. You might have every right to be angry. But if it’s making things worse, it’s time for a change. At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be.

As a culture, we do not do well with healthy expressions of anger. Often we are raised to suppress it and then we have limited practice at dealing with big emotion. There is a spectrum of healthy aggression- to keep us safe and to maintain boundaries- and rage- our body's strategy for safety. Anger management is about applying the right "dosing" to maintain boundaries yet not fracture relationships or suffer other losses. I am able to help you learn to regulate your body to be able to apply the appropriate "dose" to be effective and not destructive.
