Anger is an emotion that requires regulation. Mindful awareness & reflective, relational support help to develop this regulation. Discovering what is behind the anger, giving voice to what that is, is also necessary. Learning that anger is a necessary emotion, and should not be a source of shame, helps to feel less afraid of it, integrating that regulated anger is a part of being human.
Anger affects our ability to create and maintain positive, healthy relationships with others, often leading to feelings of helplessness and isolation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy incorporates techniques and activities to decrease impulsive negative behaviours to help decrease anger symptoms.
Anger often feels like a hot stone, too difficult to hold, so we throw it out on the other. Anger is a sign boundaries need to me made. Anger is the teenager in you rebelling. Together we will find what is triggering your anger, and how to work with this precious emotion in a way that honours you and does not alienate the people who truly care for you.
We treat a wide range of psychological issues including anger management. Our team includes several types of therapists such as Psychologists, Social Workers and Psychotherapists who are skilled in this area.
Many people in our community suffer from anger management and are unable to control their emotions and therefore become impulsively angry. Through psychotherapy individuals suffering from anger management can begin to identify the triggers of their anger thereby gaining greater control over their emotions, thus reducing their impulsive anger outbursts.

For many of us, anger and aggression have been engrained as a defensive mechanism, a way of protecting ourselves from the world. Often, we feel like we need to resort to anger to ensure we aren’t being taken advantage of. In the moment, this anger can intensify and lead us to taking actions that hurt ourselves and those around us, often leading to feelings of regret. If we can understand our anger and seek to connect with it in a different way, we can start to learn how this emotion, in its healthy form, can serve a vital role in building relationships and helping drive success in other areas of our lives.

Anger is a common and natural emotion with permutations that can range from all-out rage and aggression to frustration, irritability and impatience, often masking underlying feelings of sadness, disappointment and hurt. Although anger often has something to teach us and can be used in constructive, powerful and healthy ways--often the manner in which it is expressed can be incredibly dysfunctional and destructive. Learning to work with and manage strong emotions is integral for all aspects of our lives and in relationship with others. Let's work together to find ways to cope with overwhelming emotions, learn strategies to combat stress reactions, calm and down-regulate the nervous system and retrain the default cognitive responses that can lead to harmful expressions of anger.
