Anger Management and Counseling in Germantown Hills, IL.

Just like fire can warm or consume and water can quench or drown, anger and conflict can be used to create intimacy or to destroy a relationship. Together we will identify anger management techniques to find what works for you. We will help you learn to use anger and communication in a way that builds positive relationships and healthy boundaries.

In my psychotherapy practice, I help patients with uncontrollable anger by providing a supportive environment to explore underlying triggers. Using various behavioral techniques, I teach patients to identify and reframe negative thought patterns, develop healthy coping strategies, and improve emotional regulation. By fostering self-awareness and promoting effective communication skills, I guide patients toward managing their anger constructively, enhancing their well-being and relationships.

We look at anger as a secondary emotion. It is very easy to characterize a person as "angry" and not explore where the reaction or response truly stems from. Our approach is to provide healing at the root. We explore what other emotions may be operating, so that we can address what has really provoked a negative response. We also try to find ways to replace the thoughts that evoke an angered response with something that helps our clients feel more in control.
