Anger Management and Counseling in Loxahatchee Groves, FL.

I help clients identify the triggering emotion that is behind the anger. Using a cognitive approach and an Anger Management guide from SAMHSA clients are given different assignments to help them understand triggers, and learn different coping skills to use to manager the anger. One technique used is the anger meter where clients are asked to monitor their anger on a scale of 1 to 10. Counseling for anger helps a person establish or repair broken relationships, and can prevent someone from losing a job or a relationship.

Anger gets a bad rap. Others focus so much on the anger that they don’t understand the pain, triggers, and trauma that often exists just under the surface. If given the honor of working with you, I’ll not only give you tools to manage the anger, but help you get to the root cause of where it’s coming from in the first place and help it to heal.

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.

We live in a society in which it is far more acceptable to express anger than it is to express feelings of loneliness and self-doubt. I find that anger is usually a response to a deeper emotional experience that we do not fully understand. The goal of this type of work is help clients to identify primary emotions, understand their function and express them in a more healthy way. DBT is a great way to help clients understand how to regulate emotions and develop a more mindful relationship to them. Once we develop these skills, we begin to learn the early signs of an unmet emotional need and the ways to manage it effectively.

Anger is one of the emotions that is often so misunderstood and seen as scary. Sometimes it can lead to people who experience anger being afraid to let others know because they fear judgement or being misunderstood. Often is is just as treatable as anxiety or depression. Understanding our emotions and how to regulate them is key and when we can lean in without judgment to observe the emotions as a curious scientist than solutions become possible. At KML, we focus on DBT heavily when it comes to understanding anxiety and learning new ways to manage it. We also first always ensure yours and others safety and develop a plan if needed. We will not judge you and are here to help you change!

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.

My approach to anger management counseling is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and practical skill-building. I help clients understand the roots of their anger, often tied to unmet needs, past wounds, or systemic stressors while empowering them to express emotions in healthier, more constructive ways. Through a blend of cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and family systems insight, clients learn to recognize triggers, regulate physiological responses, and develop new communication patterns. Ultimately, my goal is to help clients harness anger as a signal for growth, boundary-setting, and self-advocacy rather than destruction.

Why do we get angry? Are we able to recognize our anger rather than deny it? Once we become aware of our anger and the problems it is creating in our life and in our relationships what do we do about it?These are the questions we help you answer and work through here at Gateway. Remember anger is a secondary emotion, meaning some other emotion is behind the anger. This emotion is often in the subconscious level of your life. Don't spend your life mad at the world and leave ruined relationships in your wake. Anger left alone only gets worse. The sooner you reach out for help the better.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of anger management in a very humane yet fresh perspective. You see, anger is a normal emotion but it is the valence (intensity) as well as the coupling choice of what one does with this that is the problem. Telling someone to "not" do it or modifying behavior with a trite psychological plan that only breeds a compliant response is not the way to change anger. Brainwave optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.

Anger is an important feeling that tells us that something is wronged. In therapy you will learn to listen to your anger instead of vacillating between shutting it down and reacting too strongly to it. Your anger is not your enemy! I will help you to use your anger as a guide, understand your anger and get the important message underneath it and then act in alternative and more effective ways to get your needs met.

Almost everyone acts in ways that seem to make sense to them, and to serve their needs and wishes. My approach to anger management is to supply strategies that better enable people to see that excess anger does not make sense, and does not serve their their needs and wishes. Indeed, it usually sabotages their progress to attain their goals. From there, people quite naturally alter their behavior so as to help themselves. It is neither necessary nor desirable for me to attempt to change their behavior, because they will almost always do what makes sense to them.
