Anger management counseling can help to identify stressors and learn the steps to stay calm in the face of anger. The goal is to handle tense situations in more constructive and positive ways by reducing the emotional and physical arousal that anger can cause. It will provide the tools to take back your life and resolve the triggers that result in unplanned anger reactions.

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.

Anger issues can be so difficult to manage and come out of nowhere. When we work together, we will gently learn the core of the distress that you are experiencing. As we learn your life journey, we may find that some of the distress is rooted in early childhood trauma and attachment wounding. We will invite forth all parts of yourself and learn about the challenging messages you may have grown up with that manifested into the distress you feel today. Our anger can be a messenger, an alarm telling you that it is time to heal experiences from earlier in life. In our work together, we'll use EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy and Expressive Arts to help you become your most authentic self.

Many times anger is the only acceptable emotion, especially for men. Uncovering the feelings, emotions and frustrations that are behind that anger can completely change the dynamic. Let's work to understand what that anger is about and heal it. Decreasing anger can completely change your relationships and increase a sense of calmness and peace in your life. It is never too late to have a happy life.

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.

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. Brainwaive optimization is a new cutting edge technology that allows one to rewire circuitry responsible for reactivity driving the anger.

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.

Our philosophy on anger management is based not only on potential chemical imbalances, but also misappropriation of how to resolve conflict. Hence, clients will benefit from psycho-educational training on building human relations, interpersonal communication, team building and conflict resolution skills. This is a highly integrative therapeutic approach to anger management counseling. In essence, as clients are taught relational skills their interpersonal communications skills improve. As their interpersonal communication skills develop, they become better practitioners at both conflict resolution as ultimately team building. Of course, self-discovery will be the bedrock of intervention

Anger is an emotion. And anger is usually the result of emotions building up inside. One of the traits that I bring to therapy related to anger management is being able to process how anger comes into any situation my clients are dealing with. In taking the time to identify how anger manages to invade my client's life we can work towards ways of preventing it from stopping the ability to live a fulfilling - and complete - life.

Anger is a difficult issue to tackle, and it isn't something that you can fix on your own. Anger in itself isn't wrong; however, the manifestation of that anger is what causes so much trouble. Many of you have very good reasons to be angry, but that anger needs to be expressed constructively. There are also those who are angry and have no idea why. We will explore this in a safe environment to give you the tools needed to extinguish that anger.

Don't let anger issues get in the way of enjoying life. A short temper can cause trouble at home and at work. Counseling can help you identify and resolve the problem causing your frustration. I won't judge or criticize your past mistakes. Everyone falls short of their best intentions sometimes. I will help you find the source of the anger, and then address it using proven anger management techniques. Call today so we can work together to deal with the stress in a positive way.

Anger is an essential emotion, but ignoring the secondary feelings underlying anger can create significant problems in your life. My goal is to remove anger from the driver's seat of your life. There are several steps to this process including, understanding anger triggers and pre-triggers and developing a more comprehensive emotional vocabulary. Upon completing therapy with me, you will better understand yourself, be back in the driver's seat of your life, and communicate more effectively with those around you.

I help clients manage and conquer anger with a number of approaches. I encourage clients to make lifestyle changes to help with anger. I also counsel clients to employ techniques like mindfulness, meditation and breathing techniques to reduce anger. I train clients to improve their communications abilities and use communications strategies. I also help clients develop assertiveness instead of aggressiveness. To the extent anxiety or depression increase anger issues, I address those in therapy.
