Develop our anger management skills. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is a highly effective anger management therapy. It works by empowering people to see how their thinking processes and beliefs can be a catalyst for anger and aggressive behaviors, and encourages them to learn alternative and more helpful thinking strategies and coping mechanisms to deal with anger when it does arise.

Anger can cause you, and those you are close with high levels of stress and anxiety. Anger is often masking deeper feelings we are grappling with like sadness, unworthiness, feeling disregarded etc. There is a valid reason for your anger— together we will work to understand the root of where your anger comes from and how it developed. From there we can begin implementing tools to help you regulate your anger so that you can be a more centered version of yourself.
Anger management may be seen as a form of mood disorder for which a number of therapies, such as psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and psychoanalysis are applicable and successful in aiding patients in dealing with their emotions.
We often think of anger as a check engine light that tells us we need to pull over and see what's going on under the hood. Often times, when we look under the hood, we see hurt, disappointment, sadness, rejection, or other softer emotions. Our aim is to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies to help you identify and manage these emotions and find more helpful ways of expressing them.

Anger, like many emotions is neither good or bad. It is often the negative consequences of anger that create problems for not only others but also ourselves. The healthy expression of assertiveness can increase awareness about feelings of guilt, shame and fear. This can be a starting point in challenging issues that have caused suffering.
