Anger Management and Counseling in Willis, TX.

The Anger Management Therapy that I provide incorporates the materials of an Anger Management Course that was developed through extensive research and published by a governmental entity: Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services (SAMHSA). This program is uniquely beneficial for its ability to be offered in either a group setting or in one-on-one individual therapy. Another benefit of this particular program is that it is a manualized treatment - with statistically proven results - that incorporates session work, as well as homework, in order to maximize the benefits gained from the program between sessions. This program was also developed to accommodate individuals w/a substance abuse history

Managing our emotions appropriately is a skill that is learned. This skill takes time, but with continued dedication and education, you will be on a track to positive emotional mental health. We teach you to understand your triggers and to minimize any negative outbursts. We do however understand that strong angry emotions can get the best of us regardless of our efforts to avoid triggers. We help you learn to manage your emotions while in the moment without responding in ways we regret in the future.

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.

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.

Why do we get angry? A lot of the time it is because we aren't getting what we want or what we think we deserve. Anger can cause people to do things they normally wouldn't want to do and even lead to consequences that could've been prevented had you had some better communication tools. Anger is a normal emotion. If you don't feel anger, you are not alive, at least in my opinion. We will uncover those false beliefs about anger and try and replace them with new, healthy beliefs that will help you live a happier life.

I have a MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of St. Thomas. Opportunities working with kids in foster care established my foundation in understanding the social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. Additionally, I have worked with adolescents and adults with goals to improve anxiety, depression, relationships, stress, and more. Are you ready to embark on a path toward healing and positive change? I am here to provide compassionate support and guidance. Let's work together toward a brighter future.

Anger has everything to do with personal history and hurt. Checking into these bottom lines yields clarity and growth. I am deeply aware of/value your story. Yet I also understand the necessity of taking responsibility for the effect our downward spirals have on those we love. Anger therapy walks the line between uncovering painful wounds, turning related conceptual "lights" on and ultimately doing the "head, heart and gut-checks" necessary to heal and move into a more healthy emotional/behavioral life. You'll find the support and tools to accomplish each of these here. I'd be honored to walk with you!

Anger is a very normal emotion. Everyone experiences anger especially if we are threatened or mistreated, however if anger becomes too extreme, it can really disconnect and damage relationships and keep you from having a productive life. Therapy can help you manage your anger and help you communicate effectively what you really need so you are taken seriously.
